broken ipod - how do i recycle it????

[AmandaDade]

I am trying to recycle my 20GB ipod after apple store told me it would be £126 to repair it. I have read you can recycle them at apple stores in US but not UK. Customers receive money towards their next purchase. Does anyone know what you can do with them in UK? It seems a shame to not recycle especially since we all know they have a limited battery life. Kind of puts me off buying another one......!
