Apple offers 10% discount for recycling devices

Apple is running a limited in-store promotion that gives customers 10% off AirPods, Beats, or accessories when they recycle eligible Apple devices.

How the offer works

  • Discount applies only when:

    • Recycling an eligible device (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac)

    • Purchasing AirPods, Beats, or accessories

    • Completing both actions in the same Apple Store transaction

  • Promotion period:

    • April 16 to May 16

  • Available only at participating Apple retail stores

What happens to recycled devices

Apple screens returned devices and routes eligible materials into its recycling systems, including:

  • Daisy (iPhone disassembly robot)

  • Cora (Apple Watch disassembly system)

Devices are either refurbished, reused for parts, or broken down to recover materials for future products.

Environmental report context

The promotion coincides with Apple’s latest Environmental Progress Report, which highlights:

  • A record 30% of materials used in Apple products in 2025 came from recycled sources

  • Continued expansion of closed-loop recycling systems

  • Increased use of recovered materials across product lines

Bottom line

This is both a retail incentive and a sustainability push: Apple is encouraging customers to recycle older devices while reinforcing its broader goal of increasing recycled material usage in its supply chain.
