Hello,
I have some old electronics not sure how to recycle them or if I can get money for them. Anyone have any ideas?
iPad that’s old very old
Fire tablet
iPhone
TV
Old Apple TV,
Amazon tv
The iPhone doesn’t turn on anymore. I don’t need any money really just looking to get rid of the stuff.
I have the same problem, and I need a trusted way to dispose them, as the iPhone for example has some of my data and I can’t clean up the storage.
Apple will take their products for recycling. Many communities have electronics recycling events.
Where I live (as noted in another thread, in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey) the county has a recycling center which accepts electronics. And the county library has an (I think) annual event to drop off computer equipment that a local non-profit refurbishes and makes available to those in need. (Not sure it is annual; I have dropped off old Macs several times.)
And I use an old iPad, an original Air, as a “bunch of buttons” device which the app Touch Portal.
I donated old, working iPhones to a local service that re-purposes them for abused women or vets.

If they’re too old to be useful, or broken, I just drop them off at electronics recycling. Best Buy is the easiest drop off in many cities in the US. There should also be something in coordination with the city or county. I’ll destroy storage if needed but it’s rare anymore that anything important was destroyed on an unencrypted drive.
Thanks I will check Best Buy
Goodwill too, with the same advice.

…in SOME countries. OP did not mention a country (which, honestly, almost certainly means it’s the US), so please do not assume.
Living in a country with no Apple Stores, no News+, no iTunes TV programs (ever), no AppleCare One, etc… it gets rather tiring deciphering headlines, stories, info, etc to figure out if any of it is applicable to me. New Zealand is by far not the worst country for this issue, either.
Think of this rant as one of diversity and inclusion. Because it is.
