In a continued effort to promote sustainability and responsible technology recycling, the Mac Admins Foundation is proud to announce a device donation drive at JNUC 2025, in partnership with Phobio, a trusted leader in secure electronics recycling.

Mac Admins attending the Jamf Nation User Conference (JNUC) 2025 are invited to bring their gently used Macs, iPhones, and iPads to the Mac Admins Foundation booth on the expo floor, where devices will be safely and securely recycled. Whether it's an aging MacBook that’s no longer in use or an iPad that’s been sitting in a drawer, this is a chance to give old tech a new purpose—or at least a responsible end-of-life.

“Our community of admins is passionate about both technology and doing the right thing,” said Chris Dawe, Co-Chair of the Mac Admins Foundation “This initiative lets attendees clear out their old devices and know they’ll be handled securely and sustainably, while donations will benefit the foundation.”

How it works:

Bring your Macs, iPhones, and iPads ready for recycling to the Mac Admins Foundation booth during expo hours.

Make sure the devices are not subject to Activation Lock or enrolled in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager

Devices will be collected by Phobio and processed according to industry-leading standards for data security and environmental safety.

All data is wiped securely, and hardware is either responsibly recycled or given a second life through Phobio

Mac Admins Foundation receives the fair value of the device as part of the recycling.

Whether you’re lightening your tech load or helping to reduce e-waste, this is a great way to be part of a cleaner, more sustainable future—right from the heart of the Mac admin community.

Join us in making JNUC 2025 not just a celebration of innovation, but a commitment to sustainability.
