Check the local recycling category
Look up your municipality’s exact guidance for toasters or small appliances. The EPA also recommends checking the receiving facility, manufacturer, retailer or local program for exact intake rules. Do not assume a retailer accepts your toaster.
For the NYC example, follow the toaster-specific collection guide before setting it out.

Prepare the toaster for transport
Let the toaster cool completely, unplug it and empty the crumbs. Follow the receiving program’s instructions for transporting the intact appliance.

When Dropcurb fits
If your toaster is going with a larger clear-out, select the accepted countertop-appliance item when booking Dropcurb. Have it outside and accessible before pickup. A local drop-off program may be more practical when the toaster is your only item.
