How to Dispose of Microwave in Boston, MA
In Boston, microwave follows the same verified program pathway as television. Boston schedules CRT items — TVs (including CRTs) — through the same special collection program as Freon appliances (311 / boston.gov; max five items per appointment, ten per year). Set out by 6 a.m. Flat-panel and other electronics that are not on the Freon/CRT list should use Zero Waste Day events, retailer take-back, or private e-waste recyclers rather than regular trash.
