Apple has offered recycling services for many years, but a new scheme from the company will give you a 10% discount on smaller Apple products if you recycle something at one of the brand’s stores in the next 30 days.

Until May 16, Apple customers can get 10% off various cheaper Apple products by recycling a wide range of devices. You’ll have to head to an Apple Store, and recycle your old kit at the same time as purchasing the new product.

Eligible devices as part of the offer include discounts on AirPods 4, AirTag (both one and four packs), Apple Pencil, Apple TV 4K, HomePod mini, Magic Keyboard (excluding the iPad version), Magic Mouse, and Magic Trackpad. 

The offer is also available on various iPhone and iPad cases, cables, chargers, adapters, and Apple Watch bands. The discount isn’t valid on refurbished devices.

Devices that can be traded in can be from Apple or any other manufacturer, and there doesn’t appear to be any limitation on the age of the device. Apple-specific devices include AirPods, AirPort, AirTags, Apple TV, HomePod, and iPod devices.

Other devices eligible for trade-in include computers, displays, hard drives, headphones, speakers, mice, keyboards, networking devices, printers, scanners, smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.

You can read more about the specific terms and conditions of the promotion on Apple’s website. The big thing to note is that it specifies that you'll need photo ID to trade in a device, so ensure you take that with you to the store to be able to complete the transaction.
