Disposing defective iPad Air 5th Gen

How can I dispose of my iPad Air 5th Gen after knowing it won't open any more due to wifi issue? I only used it for 1 year and 4 months. I decided not to keep it anymore and buy new one.

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Any idea if they receive it for FREE or will they pay us?


Apple will only accept qualifying devices for trade-in that are fully functional.


If, as you have already stated, the iPad has a fault, it will not qualify for trade-in with Apple. Apple will, however, recycle a returned device for free.


Third-party vendors may have a different policy.
