I have a 2010 Macbook Pro I want to send to Apple to recycle. Unfortunately, I never wiped off my data and it got knocked on the floor breaking the touchpad. Is there another way to wipe it clean when the touchpad won't respond? Do I just bring it to an Apple Store & ask them to recycle and wipe it clean? Thanks.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.2
Borrow a USB mouse and use that to wipe the computer.
Then do this: What to do before you sell, give away, trade in, or recycle your Mac - Apple Support
An Apple Store might wipe it for you. They certainly will recycle it.

Thanks, D.I.Johnson. It's been so long since I've used a mouse that it never occurred to me. I'll see where I can borrow one.
You're welcome.
I hope it all works out. 🙂
Broken Touchpad. Can't wipe MacBook Pro to recycle.
