The Find My iPhone function found on Apple devices is used to locate your device if stolen or lost.  In order to be able to recycle the phone and place it in the hands of a new user, this feature needs to be disabled.  We kindly ask that you deactivate iCloud from your device before sending it in.  You can do this by following the steps below:

1. On your device’s home screen, go to "Settings”
2. Go to "iCloud" found in "Settings"
3. Turn the Find My iPhone slider to the OFF position if it is not already. If prompted for a password, enter your iCloud password and tap "Turn Off" to confirm.
4. In the case that you've already shipped your device or you can't turn your phone on please follow these steps:
5. Sign in to http://www.icloud.com/
6. Click "Devices" at the top
7. Find the specific devices you want to deactivate and click on that device
8. Click the "X" to remove the device from your iCloud account

We aim to maximize the use of each device we receive. This could either be by recycling the device and using its individual components elsewhere or finding a new user that will make the most of the device.

No Blacklisted Devices: We don't accept devices that have been blacklisted, which typically happens if a device has been reported lost or stolen, or if there are unpaid bills associated with it.

No Returns or Payments for Blacklisted Devices: If a blacklisted device is inadvertently sent to us, we cannot return it or make any payments for it.

Possibility of Reduced Cost Payment: However, there may still be a possibility for you to receive some value from these devices. If you're able to un-blacklist the devices (for instance, by clearing any unpaid bills), we would be happy to reassess their eligibility. If this is the case, please include proof of purchase, settled bill, and un-blacklist status.
