Where can I take my microwave for recycling?
Microwaves and other small appliances often contain very few parts that can be reused or recycled. When purchasing small appliances, make sure you buy good quality ones that will last a long time and look for features such as warranties and parts that can be replaced. A very small number of communities do accept microwaves for drop off at their recycling depots. There are also a small number of private recycling companies that may accept the microwave for recycling, repair or reuse of parts. Call the RCBC Recycling Hotline to determine if drop off is available in your community - 604-RECYCLE (732-9253) or 1-800-667-4321.
