My town has their second trash pickup of the week designated as bulk pick up. We have put out things such as our old sofa and dishwasher and they were removed without issue

When my Air Fryers stop working they will go in the trash. The City here doesn't make it very easy to recycle or dispose of things your not supposed to put in the trash. 

We try to use their recycle center but it's not open during the hours they are supposed to be open. We got tired of driving over there to see nobody is ever there. If you leave things when nobdy is there they fine you?

We put everything in the trash even if we are not supposed to. We don't know what else to do with it. I blame The City for not having places to dispose of items they don't want us to put in the trash.

When we buy new appliances the place where we purchased it takes the old appliance to dispose of. I'm pretty sure they charge an amount to dispose of it.

Our county has several neighborhood landfills as well as the main one. 

The neighborhood one I go to has a special shed for electronic items........anthing with a plug. I think the only thing they have started to charge for are televisions. 

It also has a place for used oil, dumpster for paper/cardboard recycling, plastic recycling and glass recycling. 

Last year they just started not charging county residents unless you have something like 6 bags or more of trash. Sticker for the vehlcle required.  Even when they charged, it was only $.75 for a 13 gallon/large kitchen bag.  The trash removal companies were charging $85/month.

We have electronics and paint recycling events in my area. There is one next Saturday. I have a broken shredder to take to it.

I save the round glass turntable plate.

Makes a great cutting board for veggies, etc.

Also use as an extra serving plate for cakes or cookies, etc. or a base for various decorations, etc.

Call you local sanitation service / company.  Never had an issue disposting of things no mater where I lived.

We live in the country. We have trash pickup and have to use that for everything. The small town that we live just outside of has a city dump and my husband used to use that on the one day a year that they offered free dumping. But I guess too many people, like us, that weren't in the city limits were using it. Now you have to show proof, that you live in the city, with your water bill.  Air fryer is only about a year old but I'm currently researching a new microwave. I get so angry when I see that people have dumped appliances off a bridge into a stream 😡

I'm in calif and our trash is highly regulated.  There are certain times of the year we can go free to dump    That's it. We can go to dump all year, lol but it costs a LOT to use dump. Geesh they want 50 bux to dump a toilet. There are City  programss though. If your looking for a free option call your trash company, or City.

Our Best Buy will take that sort of electronics.

If jurisdictions all want us to do the right thing then first, make sure we know what it is and second don't make it a challenge to do. Otherwise, right or wrong, all my refuse is going in the dumpster.
