Apple Offers Free Recycling On iPods and iPhones -- Without Strings

Apple Offers Free Recycling on iPods and iPhones Without Strings

Apple has been embroiled in a PR battle with Greenpeace over the past year or so. The computer and gadget manufacturer is trying to establish its "green" cred to keep its often eco-minded fans happy. Greenpeace, meanwhile, has been pushing for more, taking the company to task for a number of eco-shortcomings. Now, in a bid for getting greener, Apple is ramping up its recycling programs, offering free and no-strings-attached recycling of any iPod or iPhone.

Apple has been offering free recycling of its products through its stores for quite some time now, launched way back in 2006. However, the recycling was only free if you bought yourself a new gadget to replace the recycled one. Now, iPods and iPhones can be recycled for free without having to buy a new one, but if you want to recycle your old computer (regardless of its brand), you'll still need to upgrade or pay.

Seems Apple isn't quite willing to get into the wholesale beige box recycling business.
