Recycling Computers
I complained recently about how hard it is to know that you are disposing of your computer equipment in an environmentally friendly way. Well it looks like after a recent lawsuit, Apple has taken to taking back used iPods at any apple store and recycling them for free! And since you need to have some business spin on everything, you can use your old iPod as a 10% off coupon on your next one! Brilliant! Encourage recycling and the next purchase at the same time.
In addition they have a program through a recycler to take any old equipment for $30. Not great, but better than I thought. I do love how those interest groups are pestering Apple. I would think that Sony or someone who actually sells a lot of electronics would be a much better target, but maybe they just thinking that they have more of a shot of getting apple to actually do something? I also didn’t realize that apple has free recycling programs in other countries.
