How to Dispose of Microwave in San Francisco, CA
In San Francisco, microwave follows the same verified program pathway as television. Recology bulky accepts electronics (TVs, computers, etc.) within your free collection allotment. You can also self-haul many electronics to the Recology Transfer Station (501 Tunnel Ave; confirm acceptance). Hazardous chemicals still go to the HHW Facility (Thu–Sat 8 a.m.–4 p.m.) with SF residency proof — max about 15 gallons per trip.
Microwave is listed on the San Francisco Bulky pickup program. Same official source as the city bulky pickup rules.
