Why Recycle Your Microwave?
Microwaves contain materials such as copper, aluminum, steel, and electronic components that can be reclaimed and reused. However, they also contain small amounts of hazardous materials, making proper recycling essential. By choosing to recycle, you help:
✅ Reduce landfill waste
✅ Prevent harmful substances from entering the environment
✅ Recover valuable materials for reuse
How to Prepare Your Microwave for Recycling
Before bringing your microwave to 1PC for recycling, please follow these important steps:
Remove the Glass Platter – The turntable inside your microwave is made of glass and should not be included in the recycling process. Please remove it before drop-off.
