Lawnmower - Non-working

A non-working lawnmower is a broken machine for grooming lawns. A lawnmower is usually composed of several materials, including metal, plastic, and a synthetic fiber bag for collecting trimmings.

Consider reuse or repair before disposal. DIY repair resources through iFixit. Drain gas and oil before disposal; capture and cap these materials for drop-off to your local hazardous waste facility.
