Apple extends recycling program across the UK

In a move that's sure to please Apple's critics at Greenpeace, Apple has now taken its popular US recycling program across the Atlantic to the UK, where it will be known as the Reuse and Recycling Programme.

The project provides a way to take your old Mac, PC, iPod, iPhone or iPad -- working or not -- and send it to a company where it will be properly recycled. What's really nice is that in many cases, your recycling effort results in cash in your pocket. In some cases that amount can be minimal (£7 for an original 8 GB iPhone) or nonexistent, while others can end up with quite the wad of spendolas (£550 for a Mac Pro 3.33 GHz).

For our friends in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Great Britain who might want to trade up to a newer model and keep their old unit out of the rubbish tip, head on out to this page on the Apple UK site and see how much your old kit is worth.
