The average lifespan of a stove is 13-15 years. Since most people use the one in their home at least once a day, it should come as no surprise when your stove breaks down after over a decade of use. But how do you get rid of a stove when it doesn’t work or you need an upgrade? It can’t just go out with the regular trash. And even if it could, you’d have to haul it to the end of your driveway, possibly creating a backache for yourself in the process. The good news is you don’t have to panic about how to get rid of your stove because you have 5 options for your choosing.
How to get Rid of a Stove: 5 options
1. Manufacturer Take Back
When you purchase your new stove to replace your broken one, ask the store manager or manufacturer if they have a buy back program in place. For a nominal fee, when your new stove is delivered, the delivery crew might be able to haul away your old stove. While this option isn’t free, it should only be a $15-$35 fee.
2. Township Pick Up
Your township schedules dates for specific item pick ups, things like appliances or electronics. You can usually find this information easily on their website, as well as whether or not they’ll pick it up from your location or if you’ll need to drop it off somewhere. This option is usually free but works best if you have a few friends who can help you move your old stove to the curb or onto the back of a pick up truck
3. Sell It Online
If the stove still works and you have the extra space to hang onto it for a bit, try listing it for sale online. The average stove can cost upwards of $600. Listing it for sale between $50-100 will probably guarantee a quick sale and bit of extra cash for you. And if you have a capable vehicle to deliver it yourself, you can charge a delivery fee..
4. Give It Away
So your stove still works, but you don’t care about making any extra money and just want it to go to someone who will use it. Try donating it. Call around to local charities, Salvation Army, or Habitat for Humanity. You can also try contacting local schools as they might be able to use it for their kitchen or home economics course. Churches would also be able to find someone who could use it. And if you’re offering it for free, any of these places will probably be willing to pick it up.
5. Hire a Local Junk Removal Company
