  • Unsure of what qualifies as ‘ewaste’? As you may know, we use a lot of electronics in our daily lives, and unfortunately, many of them contain hazardous materials such as mercury or lead. When these electronics are at the end of their lifecycle, it leads to what’s known as electronic waste.

    In the last few years, Apple has manufactured devices and machines free of toxic materials, but chances are, you may have older electronic waste around the house that you need to get rid of responsibly.

    We have held free ewaste collection events since 2007, and we collect ewaste at no cost to the public at each of our stores throughout the year.
