Apple offers accessory discount for recycling old tech ahead of Earth Day

Apple is launching a limited-time offer that rewards customers for recycling old tech—an initiative first reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Starting this week, customers who drop off used electronics at Apple Stores, even if they’re from other brands or not eligible for trade-in credit, will receive 10% off select accessories.

The promotion covers popular items like AirPods, AirTags, iPhone cases, Apple Watch bands, and Mac accessories such as the Magic Mouse and Keyboard. Though the discount is modest, it’s notable—Apple rarely offers price cuts outside of its back-to-school or holiday events.

The campaign is expected to run for a month, leading into Earth Day on April 22, and reflects Apple’s continued push to promote sustainability through recycling. Whether the deal will be available internationally remains unclear.
