Does Lowe's recycle microwaves?

Lowe’s published appliance services do not describe a universal free countertop microwave recycling program. Its appliance haul-away is tied to buying a replacement appliance and selecting the applicable delivery or installation service; connected over-range microwaves require separate removal and installation arrangements. Confirm haul-away during the purchase and arrange any required removal before delivery.

Check the purchase-linked option

If you are replacing the microwave, ask Lowe’s to confirm whether haul-away applies to your specific appliance and purchase. Do not assume that delivery of a large appliance includes removal of a countertop microwave or a connected over-range microwave.

For eligible haul-away, the old appliance generally needs to be empty, uninstalled and unplugged unless installation was purchased. Follow Lowe’s instructions before the pickup or installation appointment.

If you are not replacing it, compare microwave scrap-yard acceptance before arranging transport.
