Hello! I just called the London Covent Garden store to know if I could just bring my old iMac computer for it to be recycled. I know I won't get any credit but I still want to do the appropriate thing. I was told to do it online as a trade-in and it would eventually take me to service called Brightstar but I've tried to click on pretty much everything and follow all the needed steps and this doesn't happen. Anyone can help here? Thank you!

Start here: link-> Apple Trade In - Apple (UK)
Scroll down to the Trade-In Estimate calculator about half way down the page, and go through the estimate process. If its not worth anything for trade in, you'll be given the option to recycle it.
Thank you for your answer. Sadly, as I mentioned before, I tried pretty much anything on that link before. I went through the whole process. It informs me that my product is ready to recycle and that is it.
