Default Disposing of my old Microwave Oven?

On the topic of waveguide covers....what is it used for?? I assume it's the
shiny copper coloured piece stuck to the sides of the oven where the
microwave comes out...and why does it burn out?? Thanks in advance.

I bought a new microwave oven, so it's time to dispose of the old one.
It's a 2yr old Sanyo Super Showerwave. It has a bad magnetron and
burned waveguide cover. The magnetron is still under warranty, but I
didn't think it was worth the cost of labor to get the magnetron
replaced. Someone who works for an authorized Sanyo repairshop should
be able to fix this thing for the cost of a paper waveguide cover. If
anyone knows of places that take repairable appliances or if anyone
wants it for the cost of Fedex Ground shipping, let me know.

I just don't have the heart to chuck it in the trash, especially since
it's in mint condition cosmetically. When fixed, it WOULD pass for
brand new!
