FAQ

More Information About

iPad Recycling

Who can recycle iPad?

What iPads do you accept?

We accept all iPad models and conditions — working, broken, or outdated, including iPad chargers, cables, and keyboards, and accessories.

Is iPad recycling really free?

Yes, iPad recycling is free for everyone.

Why shouldn’t I throw my iPad in the trash?

iPads contain batteries and hazardous
components that don’t belong in landfills, plus personal data shouldn’t be discarded irresponsibly. Recycling keeps materials out of the trash and protects your information.

Can businesses recycle iPads too?

Yes! Offices, schools, and businesses using iPads for
edutech, POS systems, shared devices, or employee use can recycle them. Large volumes may
qualify for free pickup.

Do I need to prepare my iPad for recycling?

It’s recommended that you back up important
files, sign out of iCloud, and factory reset your phone to erase all personal data before recycling. If you’re unable to, we’ll still recycle your iPad securely.

We welcome anyone wanting to do the right thing and ditch those unwanted devices—households, businesses, schools, hospitals, estate sales, junk removal services, private organizations…you name it. If you’ve got old tech, we’ll make sure it finds a greener future.

At the end of the day, we’re here to keep e waste out of landfills and give a high-five to Mother Nature. Ready to join the cause? Come see us, and let’s put that outdated gear where it belongs—back into the recycling loop instead of gathering dust in your office or garage. Because taking care of our planet is always in style (unlike certain haircuts we won’t mention).

A good rule of thumb: if it has a cord or a battery, then we take it. Most items are free to recycle, but there are fees for items containing good amounts of glass or plastic. Download our 2025 price sheet.
