Provided your microwave<\/a> is still in good working order, donating it is one of the most responsible methods of microwave disposal. When you donate your microwave to a charity shop, you’re not only cutting back on e-waste, you’re also supporting various good causes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Before you consider sending your old microwave for recycling, ring up your local charity shop and see if they would like to accept it. While not all charity shops will accept electrical goods, a fair number do. Thanks to the low prices in charity shops, this is also a good way to help people in your local community who may be struggling on a tight budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If your microwave is clean<\/a> and still in good condition, you could sell it and put the cash towards a new one or some new kitchen accessories. While you probably won’t get a lot of money for it, selling your microwave is a good way to avoid creating extra electrical waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You could advertise your used microwave<\/a> online to find a local buyer. Other options include taking out a small ad in a local paper or putting up a notice in your local supermarket or shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another more generous way to dispose of your microwave is simply to give it away. You may not always find a taker for your unwanted appliances. However, you never know. Before you send your unwanted microwave off for recycling, ask around your family and friends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students or friends and relatives setting up their homes may appreciate the offer of a free microwave. Plus, there’s always the chance that someone you know may need to replace their broken microwave. You could also advertise your appliance as going for free using the same methods as you would advertise it for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, if your appliance is under warranty or in otherwise good condition but not working, you could consider sending it for repair. Unfortunately, sometimes repairing old appliances can amount to more than replacing them. However, if it is just a simple fix, such as replacing a fuse, you could be pleasantly surprised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact your microwave’s manufacturer if it is still within the warranty period. If not, check out any local approved repair shops and ask if they would be willing to take a look at your appliance so you can get an accurate quote. Repairing is always a better option for the environment<\/strong> than getting rid of your appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your old microwave oven is no longer in working condition and repairing it isn’t really an option, you should take it to your nearest household waste recycling centre. There should be one within a short driving distance. If you are uncertain where to take your microwave oven for appliance disposal, contact your local council to find out the exact address of your local recycling centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Recycling microwave ovens ensure that their components and materials go on to be reused, helping to cut down on the amount of electronic waste<\/a> that we produce and send to landfills year after year. Recycling can also help to combat climate change<\/strong>. Make sure that you pay close attention to the signs at the tip to get the correct recycling bin for electronic equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"charity](\"https:\/\/homepicks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/charity-shop-ad.jpg\")
