Waste Information
A mechanical (non-battery-powered) egg timer/kitchen timer is usually disposed of as mixed waste. However, if more than half of the item is made of metal, it should be placed in metal recycling when broken.
A digital timer, meaning one that is battery-powered or rechargeable-battery-powered, is an electrical device and can be returned free of charge to a collection point for electrical equipment. For more information, see recycling of electrical household appliances.
