Filed under apple, recycle.
I picked up a Mac mini from my local Apple store tonight. This is the third I’ve bought in the weeks since Leopard was released. To my pleasant surprise, I received this email from Apple shortly after my purchase.
Below this are two barcodes with RMA numbers to give to FedEx along with my old hardware. It looks like Apple is serious about this recycling thing after all… I purchased another Mac mini less than two weeks ago and did not receive a similar email. They made no mention of this at the store, so they may not be aware of it yet.
As always, I have a suggestion for Apple. After the sale, the salesperson should say something along the lines of “Apple will send you an email with a free, safe and easy way to recycle your old hardware. You can also bring it to us here at the store and we’ll be sure that it’s recycled properly.” It not only reminds people to recycle old hardware but let’s them know that they can even drop it off at the store. I don’t know if Apple actually offers in-store recycling but, if they do not, they should!

Wow - maybe they ought to e-mail a few of those to Greenpeace.
Love the headline on the e-mail
