Some refurbishers will provide a free shipping label. Some will offer to recycle the hard drive for you, and others will send it back to you wiped clean.

Visit http://www. apple. com/recycling/gift-card/ to contact Apple and request a shipping label.

Apple provides free shipping labels and free hard drive wiping. IBM will not wipe your hard drive for you or provide shipping labels, but they will accept your old hardware for recycling. Dell will provide a shipping label. In some locations they also allow you to drop off your old hardware at Goodwill.

Package the hard drive in bubble wrap (or other materials) so that it does not get damaged in transit. If you have received a shipping label, remember to affix this to your box. Also, be sure to visit the mail carrier that matched your shipping label. If you have not received a shipping label, you will need to pay for shipping at the mail carrier of your choice. Be sure to bring the address (available on the website of your brand).

You can retain and reuse these magnets.
