This is process only online and you will be provided a quote for your item on the website. Both the trade in programs might accept different items and the same item for a different price.
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.
