Our City is having their once a year "clean up"........they won't take

appliances, and electronics, but pretty much everything else. I have a question....is a pizza cooker an appliance?? It’s the type ya put the pizza on it’s pan and it rotates under a heating part to cook, it’s not called an oven. And how about an older type radio that plays cassette tapes. Is that considered an electronic?? Thanks.

and a separate one for appliances. I took 2 things to the appliance clean-up. While I was waiting in my car, I watched the volunteers using a forklift to move larger items. They picked up a flat screen tv, and it fell off, and shattered into a million little pieces. It was something to see, I'll tell ya.

I bet if you put the old radio on the curb, someone would take it. There's a lot of interest in the older electronic equipment

In case they are shy. If I put $5 on it and put it in my yard sale, it'd sit. Unless the hoarder down the street came by

Our city does pick up large appliances such as stoves etc. However, we take small appliances and electronics to hazardous waste.
