Apple Kicks off electronics Recycling Program in UK

We love our gadgets and we just got to get the latest phone in the market, but what do you do with the one you have just tossed into your drawer. Electronic device disposal is a tricky business and something which needs to be taken seriously. And it looks like that Apple is ready to do its bit. The company already had its device recycling program running in the US and now this green initiative is all set to make its UK debut.

Apple is not well known for its social causes, but the company is now looking for a makeover. Recently, it published a responsibility report which detailed all the eco-friendly efforts made by the company. The new recycling plan will help you in getting rid of your old iPod, iPad, Macs and iPhones and will help you in making some money that way. Apple is also accepting non-functional gadgets. Though, the pricing seems to be on conservative side, but at least you can rest assured that your gadget is being disposed off in an environment-friendly way.

Depending on the condition of your product, you might be offered credit or Apple would recycle your product free of cost. According to Apple website, "Apple’s commitment to the environment includes finding the most efficient ways to reuse or recycle electronic equipment at the end of its useful life." So go ahead, do your good deed of the day.
