How to dispose of Microwave
Steps
- If the microwave works, donate to a thrift store or list on Freecycle/Buy Nothing groups.
- If broken: Check if your waste hauler accepts small appliances curbside.
- Take to a local e-waste or appliance recycling center.
- Some retailers offer take-back programs when purchasing a new appliance.
- Never put in regular trash in states that ban e-waste from landfills.
Working microwaves are accepted at most Goodwill and Salvation Army locations.
