Consider reuse or repair before disposal. DIY repair resources through iFixit or local Fixit clinics. Radios without "electronics" are considered electrical and may go into the garbage when beyond repair, reuse or refurbishing. Digitial &/or bluetooth radios and speakers with electronic components - think digital screen and having a computer chip - would be considered an electronic device, and when beyond repair, refurbishing or reuse, considered e-waste.
