Alternate Title: Apple have finally seen sense & started buying Windows PCs. ;)
Correction: It's any computer, not just Windows PCs, and you can recycle old phones, iPods, and iPads too.
I did a little research and it seems you can get 2-3x the amount by selling it on Craigslist.
Brilliant people work at Apple. This is an eco friendly and business savvy move. Because not only is this great for the environment this will provide rare earths metals (without the digging) for new mac products.
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.
