[–] JohnLBevan 15y ago ↗ Alternate Title: Apple have finally seen sense & started buying Windows PCs. ;)
[–] cowboyhero 15y ago ↗ Correction: It's any computer, not just Windows PCs, and you can recycle old phones, iPods, and iPads too.

Because not only is this great for the environment this will provide rare earths metals (without the digging) for new mac products. [–] smackfu 15y ago ↗ I think Apple is just passing the stuff onto a partner, so they wouldn't be getting the direct benefits of the recycling like that.
