About Our Microwave Removal Service
Microwaves are small, but they're one of the items you're not supposed to throw in the garbage — the capacitor, transformer and circuit boards make them electronic waste, and the magnetron contains materials that belong at an e-waste processor, not in a landfill. We remove countertop units, over-the-range microwaves (which are bolted to the wall and cabinet above the stove and heavier than they look), and built-in models trimmed into cabinetry. Over-the-range removals include unbolting the mounting plate and disconnecting the vent; everything goes to an approved electronics recycler where the metals and boards are recovered.
How Microwave Works in Bowmanville

- Unplug the unit and, for OTR models, unbolt the top cabinet screws
- Support the microwave while releasing it from the wall mounting plate
- Disconnect the vent adapter and remove the mounting hardware if wanted
- Deliver to an approved e-waste recycler for metal and board recovery

A microwave on its own is a small job, which is why most people add it to another pickup — a fridge, a couch, a garage clear-out. Text a photo of what you've got and we'll quote the microwave alone or bundle it with anything else you want gone in the same trip.

Over-the-range units are the tricky ones: they hang from a wall plate and bolts through the cabinet above, and they drop suddenly when released. We support the unit properly during the un-mount so it doesn't land on your stove or cooktop.
Microwaves are e-waste, not garbage — the transformer, capacitor and circuit boards go to an approved electronics recycler where steel, copper and board metals are recovered.

Frequently Asked Questions — Microwave Removal in Bowmanville
How much does microwave removal cost in Bowmanville?
A single appliance pickup in Bowmanville runs $55–$150, depending on the size of the appliance and where it's located in your home. A microwave on its own is a small job, which is why most people add it to another pickup — a fridge, a couch, a garage clear-out. Text a photo of what you've got and we'll quote the microwave alone or bundle it with anything else you want gone in the same trip.
Which Bowmanville neighbourhoods do you cover for microwave removal?
We provide microwave removal throughout Bowmanville, including Downtown Bowmanville, Northglen, Aspen Springs and Waverly. Most jobs are scheduled within 24-48 hours, and same-day service is available across Bowmanville.
Why can't I just put my microwave in the garbage?
Most municipalities classify microwaves as electronic waste because of the circuit boards and capacitor inside. Curbside programs typically won't take them, and they don't belong in landfill — we route them to an approved e-waste recycler instead.
Can you take down an over-the-range microwave?
Yes. OTR units are bolted through the cabinet above and hang on a wall plate — releasing one safely is a two-hands-plus-support job. We un-mount it, disconnect the vent and haul it away.
Is it worth booking a pickup for just one microwave?
You can, but most customers bundle it with other items — old electronics, a small appliance or two, or a garage tidy — so one visit clears everything. Tell us what else you have and we'll quote the lot.
