Can't erase for recycling I have an old Macbook (mid-2009) that will not allow me to do a clean erase/wipe clean. I intend to get rid of it before moving across the country. It is running El Capitan OS.

See the following Apple Support article for information on erasing a Mac: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support

Skip step 2 in that article -- it only applies to newer Macs.
