How to dispose of an old iPad with no trade-in value?

I have bought a new iPad and want to get rid of an old one but it has no trade-in value. Will Apple still take it back and if so how do I do this?

Return your unwanted iPad to the Genius Bar at any Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where it will be responsibly recycled at no cost to you.


Before disposal, you should prepare/erase the device before it leaves you possession.
