Apple computer recycling Melbourne: iMac, MacBook and Mac Pro fleets

Before anything leaves, sign each Mac out of iCloud, turn off Find My and remove it from Apple Business Manager or your MDM. A locked Mac can't be wiped, so it can only be recycled.

Then decide: wipe in place, or destroy the drive. On newer Macs the storage is part of the logic board, so destroying it means destroying the board.

Count by model and year. The serial number in About This Mac is enough. Keep chargers with laptops. Stand iMacs upright on pallets with the screens protected, or leave them for our team to pack. Note any cracked screens or units that won't turn on.

1. Send the list. Model, year, count and condition.

2. Clear the locks and agree the data instruction. Every Mac unlocked, and wipe or destroy decided.

3. We collect. We count the Macs with your contact. Drives are wiped or destroyed as you instruct, and the Macs are recycled for the aluminium, glass and boards.

You get written confirmation once the wipe or destruction is done.

Collection across metropolitan Melbourne, with delivery to our yard available by arrangement for business loads.

There is no minimum. The collection fee depends on the load and access, and the quote comes back by email once we have looked at what you have.

See computers and laptops for Windows fleets, monitors and TVs for screens and hard drives and data-bearing devices before you hand over storage. Return to e-waste collection or materials we work with.

Laptops, phones and tablets can come as they are, with their batteries in. Loose, swollen or damaged lithium batteries are not taken. Tell us if any device is swollen, cracked or has been in water.
