How to scrap an amp?

sev112

Last week my old Marshall combo started smelling, then smoking, then light went out, started fizzing, at which point I decided it has had its day.

made a bit of an effort to see if it was worth repairing  but that would mean spending money on an old amp, when I get the chance to spend money on a new amp!

so where do I scrap the amp ?  
I split the cab a few years ago so that could carry the thing, so I an keep the main cab and speaker for another experiment.

otherwise it’s going to the tip
any ideas?

What model is it? I may be interested for spares.

Give it to someone for spare parts. Even the least valuable guitar amp will have a few useful bits in it.

All mnfrs of guitar amplifiers are required to offer free disposal/recycling of units under WEEE regulations, contact your nearest one to find out how to do it.

I think WEEE only applies if a retailer sells you a new version of the same item, they have to offer a free take back / disposal service. I'm sure it's more onerous if you are a producer however. 

Edit: you did actually say manufacturers, not retailers, my mistake.

Put it as a freebie on gumtree or simply take it to your local recycling centre.

I found a SuperPA at a recycling centre a few years back and gave it to a mate as a project. He fixed it up but I haven't seen it yet.
