Step‑by‑Step Guide: How to Recycle an Old iPad
1. Assess the Condition of Your iPad
Check whether your iPad powers on and note any issues such as cracked screens, battery problems, charging faults, or liquid damage. This helps you choose the correct condition when you sell your iPad online.
2. Back Up and Remove Your Data
Before recycling:
Back up your data using iCloud or a computer
Sign out of iCloud, Apple ID, iTunes, and the App Store
