Just want to highlight Apple's recycling program as stated here [1]. They will give you a gift card for Apple computer.

If your equipment are not Apple, they will still pick it up for free via Sims Recycling Solutions. [2]

That doesn't really address recycling, though. They've over-loaded the word to mean trade-in.

Technically nothing on that page days they don't just throw all the returned iPods into a lake. Well of course they don't, but neither do we know what they actually do.

Actually, if you click through on the GPs link Apple provides information in two links with further links to PDFs and FAQs.

Trade-in would imply that you are also purchasing from Apple as well. I didn't read anything condition requiring any purchases to take part in Apple's recycling program.
