Apple has a free recycling program for electronics for both Apple products and products from other manufacturers. The recycling option needs to be completed online unless it’s an Apple product which you can drop off at an Apple store.

The trade in options are constantly changing. It’s best to trade in your electronics as soon as you no longer need them for the best price. There is an exception with older items that have become classics or that are needed for parts for legacy electronics. Look at online resell sites such as eBay to resell outdated electronics.
