How do I dispose of a non-functioning lawn mower?
By admin | May 3, 2009
Jcamber asked:
I have an electric, battery rechargeable lawn mower that won’t take a charge anymore. I checked with my local service store but it’s more expensive to fix it than to just buy a new mower so I’ve decided to go with the new mower. Now I don’t know what to do with this old one, specially given it’s electric and you shouldn’t throw away batteries… what to do?

If you have a neighbor with a really bad lawn, you could just leave it on the front yard at 3AM…
Just kidding.
Most communities have hazardous household waste faculties that accept things like this from residents. Normally, you can just drop it off.
However, that battery is replaceable- you can look up the manufacturer and part number on the battery and just change it out. Thare are a lot of places on the Web that you can buy batteries from.
If you go this route, the only thing you need to bring to the hazardous waste people is the old battery.
Some folks here have suggested that you leave it outside with a sign that says, “free.” I’ve had much better results putting things outside with signs that say, “$10″

Put it out front of your house near the road and I’ll guarantee it will be gone in less than 2 days. It’s even fun to sit inside your house sneaking a look out your window and watch people check it out and then grab it.

Give to Hannah home or some charity store, they usually fix up or use old parts off of them even if it’s just a handle also it’s tax deductible and your helping someone else.

Put it outside, and place a sign saying free on it. Someone will take it.
