Description

iPads, Android tablets, e-readers, and similar devices are accepted for recycling or reuse.

Considerations before bringing it

Remove cases, screen covers, keyboards, or styluses you want to keep. Mention swollen batteries before bringing the device in.

Data and privacy prep

Back up data, sign out of Apple ID or Google accounts, turn off Find My or activation lock, and factory reset if you are comfortable doing so.

Best way to bring it to us

Remove activation locks if possible. Chargers can be recycled with the device.

What happens after drop-off

Tablets are sorted for reuse, parts, battery handling, secure data processing, and responsible recycling.
