In this lecture, we’ll go over ways go over options like repairing, trading in, selling, or donating devices before recycling. You’ll also learn how to find responsible, certified recycling options. Most importantly, we’ll cover the essential steps to prep devices before they leave your hands so that your data and privacy is protected.
