It is not recommended to attempt taking apart appliances if you do not have previous experience as there are dangers involved such as electrocution or exposure to harmful substances contained within the appliance. Even if you are not savvy enough to disassemble an appliance you can still make some money. For example, the glass plate inside a microwave can be sold on a site such as Ebay. Cords, knobs, or accessories can also be sold if they are hard to find.
Since there is some value to the raw materials you may be able to find someone in your area who will come and remove your old appliances for free. They will often disassemble these items and recycle the wire and scrap metal contained within. Depending on the age of your appliance they may also be interested in the parts. If you are unable to find a free removal service, then low cost alternatives can often be found by looking up local junk removal services on sites such as Thumbtack or Junk King.
Contact them to get a quote for the removal of your items. If you are buying a new appliance most retailers will remove your old appliance when they deliver your new set.

Instead of getting rid of them, there are recycling centers for many different types of items. These items can be broken down for parts or melted down to their raw materials to be used for new devices later.

Many of these companies will come to your location to get everything from you, making the process even more convenient. It also does not matter if they are working, as they can be broken down and used for scrap metal and plastics. They will also accept trash compactors, mini fridges, dishwashers, and overhead vents for ranges.
