4 Responsible Ways to Dispose of Your Microwave in the UK:

  • Recycle

The first and most popular option for disposing of your microwave is recycling. You can accomplish this in a variety of ways, which is explained below, including our own recycling service.

  • Sell

If your microwave is still in good working order, you may be able to sell it. The easiest way to do this is online. However, due to their size and fragility, we’d recommend selling your microwave locally. Try online platforms such as Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree.

  • Donate

Donating it to a charity shop is a great way to help someone out, and raise a bit of money for a good cause too. Not everyone that needs a microwave oven can afford one. Charity shops are a great way for someone to get a great, time-saving, convenient device. Or, if you have a friend in need, consider donating it directly to them.

  • Apply for Bulky Waste Collection from the Council

Some council areas offer a Bulky Waste Collection service for large items such as household appliances. This includes microwaves. Unfortunately this service is often difficult to get due to a high demand. There’s also a waiting time of approximately 2-4 weeks before collection. It’s also important to note that there is usually an extra fee to pay for electrical waste too.
