Apple today launched an Earth Day promotion that offers customers 10% off eligible Apple accessories when they recycle eligible devices at participating Apple Stores. The offer is available from today through May 16 in many countries, including the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, and others.

Keep in mind that this promotion seems to be geared towards devices that are not eligible for trade-in credit at Apple Stores. The idea is that you can help the planet by bringing in old electronics to Apple for free recycling, as has long been possible, but now with the added bonus of receiving 10% off an accessory for a limited time.

The offer is available at physical Apple Store locations only. Each customer may recycle up to five eligible devices for a promotional discount on eligible accessories. Recycling of the eligible device and purchase of an eligible accessory must be completed in the same transaction. Full terms and conditions can be found on Apple's website.

Eligible devices for recycling, according to Apple:
  • AirPods
  • AirPort
  • AirTag
  • Apple TV
  • Computers
  • Displays
  • Hard Drives & Storage
  • Headphones & Speakers
  • HomePod
  • Mice & Keyboards
  • Networking
  • Printers & Scanners
  • Smartphones
  • Tablets
  • Watches
  • iPod
Accessories eligible for the 10% discount:
  • AirPods 4
  • AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation
  • AirTag (1-pack)
  • AirTag (4-pack)
  • Apple Pencil
  • Apple TV 4K
  • HomePod mini
  • Apple Watch bands
  • Apple-branded adapters, cables, and chargers
  • Apple-branded iPhone and iPad cases
  • Magic Mouse
  • Magic Trackpad
  • Magic Keyboard (excluding the iPad version)
While a 10% discount is not massive, Apple rarely offers direct savings on its products beyond its annual Back to School and Black Friday events.

Earth Day is on Tuesday, April 22.

Should I be hopeful that the lack of Airpods Pro 2 on the eligible items to buy may mean the Airpods Pro 3 are going to be released soon?

HARD PASS.

Would’ve recycled my old monitors that I have with Apple if it allowed discount on Magic Keyboard for iPads but with that being excluded, NO THANKS, I’ll just recycle with municipal recycling center.

Can i bring in one loose airpod if I lost the other one years ago and still get the discount?
 
Hmmm, timing is interesting. I have an older AppleTV that I haven’t used in 2 years. It’s been in a dark corner all this time, ignored. A month ago I pulled it out to use the space for something else and have it out on a counter to turn it in for recycling, only I just kept putting it off, and I need to get rid of it by Monday. So 10% off a watch band (that I don’t need, but have been thinking about) is a good reason to head to the Apple Store now - I’ll get something for that old AppleTV, rather than just turning it in for nothing.
 
As usual, the discount only applies to products that will get updated soon- this is how they clear out inventory

Somehow offering a discount to entice people to buy more plastic gadget junk that they probably don’t need does not seem like the best way to celebrate earth day.

Maybe Apple could stop selling new products for one day, that would seem to achieve the goal and messaging a bit better.

Apple isn’t saying people need to buy anything. They’ll recycle stuff for free, just like maybe your municipal recycling center does too.

They’ll accept virtually any electronic consumer device for recycling. So bring in your old cables, device cases, broken alarm clocks, toasters, tv tuners, stereo receivers, or maybe even microwaves if you want.

Good to see a flat discount on all the products instead of varying/lower amounts on products having lower price tag.
