Apple iPod Recycling Program : Environment Friendly Discounts

“Apple Computer Inc. launched a recycling program for its popular iPod, encouraging owners to bring their digital music players to Apple retail stores for free, environmentally friendly disposal.”

“The company has been under siege from environmentalists, who say the company hasn’t done enough to promote recycling of its products, which often end up in landfills in the United States and in developing countries.”

“People who bring their iPods to one of about 100 stores nationwide will also receive a 10 percent discount toward the purchase of a new iPod. The discount is only good the day people drop off their older iPod, iPod mini or iPod photo.” [via Yahoo News (AP)]
