@codemonkeymike I haven't donated mine yet (I was just going to take it to the apple store for recycling after wiping it) - as long as I, the user, wipe it first, it's OK..?

@noodlemaz Apple will just shred it.. so it's "recycled" for the metal.. but they're not re-using it. In my experience, it's best to wipe it, then set it up with a new local account with a dummy admin password.. then put it as a sticky note on the keyboard. If you plan for it to be useful again. You don't need an icloud password, just a local admin password. Hope that helps!
