Step1
Ask your friends and family if any of them want your used iPod. This is the simplest form of recycling that many people often overlook when buying new gadgets.
Step2
Head to the Apple Recycling website and follow the links provided to reach the iPod Recycling website.
Step3
Fill out the iPod recycling form with your address, the number of iPods you'll be recycling and the type of pre-printed label you want. Apple conveniently offers to provide the shipping materials as well as the packing label for free.
Step4
Wait for the pre-printed packing label to come in the mail.
Step5
Package up your iPod. You can use your own materials or Apple's, but make sure the parcel is secure. A good tape job and a bit of bubble wrap will protect your iPod from the rigors of the journey.
Step6
Take your iPod to the nearest US Post Office for shipping.
