Should I recycle or sell AirPods in Illinois?
Under the Consumer Electronics Recycling Act, Illinois requires manufacturers to fund free collection of many old computers and screens. Putting computers, monitors and similar covered electronics out with household trash is not allowed in Illinois, so passing a working AirPods on to a new owner is the easy legal route. AirPods that still powers on should be sold, not shredded. Save the Illinois recycling drop-off for truly dead electronics, and never bin the battery.
With Find My off, a working AirPods is accepted even with scratches or a tired battery, and the price check flags anything that rules it out. What AirPods needs to qualify.
