What’s Inside a Small Appliance? Why It Matters

You might think tossing a toaster in the trash is harmless. But inside, it’s more complex than it looks.

Let’s break it down.

A typical blender or toaster contains:

• Metal parts like steel or aluminum
• Copper wiring that should be recycled
• Plastic housing that doesn’t break down in landfills
• Small circuit boards (yes, they’re e-waste!)
• Heating elements or small motors

These components can leak toxins if not handled properly. When recycled the right way, they can be broken down and used again. At Provident Junk Removal, we work with local recycling centers to recycle small appliances and keep them out of landfills.

Some options are free but inconvenient. Some are easy but not eco-friendly. With us, you get both: easy and responsible appliance removal.

E-Waste and Appliance Disposal Stats in Vancouver You Should Know

Let’s get real for a second.

According to Metro Vancouver, the region generates over 44,000 tonnes of electronic waste every year. A big chunk of that is from small household appliances.

Here’s the kicker: only 38% of Vancouver residents properly recycle e-waste, according to a 2023 report from the City’s Zero Waste initiative.

That means more than half of our electronics are ending up in the wrong place. We can do better. And we’re here to help make it easier.

Myths About Disposing of Small Kitchen Appliances

Let’s bust a few common myths.

Myth: “I can throw it in the garbage if it’s small.”
Truth: Small appliances contain e-waste. Vancouver regulations prohibit tossing them in the regular trash.

Myth: “If it’s broken, no one can do anything with it.”
Truth: Broken appliances still contain recyclable parts. They should still be properly dismantled and processed.

Myth: “It’s just one toaster. No big deal.”
Truth: Small appliances add up. Millions end up in landfills each year.
