How can I properly recycle a defunct microwave in Orihuela Costa?

Please don't tell me to leave it out and it will be picked up soon enough!

As far as I'm aware, Orihuela are still operating mobile eco-parks, where you can take items for recycling. I can't find the current calendar, but the following tell you what the system is:

https://orihuelalimpia.com/ecoparque/

Alternatively ask the Orihuela Costa town hall at Playa Flamenca.

Ref your comment, if you did just leave it out for collection by a white van man, then if he could repair it and sell it he would do so. A recycling centre is likely to just recycle the materials.

Thank you for your helpful response Jim.

Both websites say that there is a mobile eco-park installed in the car park next to the Orihuela Costa town hall.  I can't say I've ever noticed it there, but I'll check it out!
