Because capacitors are designed to store electricity, you must take precautions while removing the one you wish to dispose of. To avoid being shocked, make sure the electronic item has been unplugged for at least 48 hours. This should give any unused power time to evaporate. If you’re recycling an air conditioner.

The oil and PCB in capacitors are hazardous wastes. Capacitors must be removed from major appliances. Many capacitors contain oil. It should be removed for best practices in order to securely recycle the metal present in the capacitor. Some older oil-filled capacitors contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Any WEEE with a total concentration of PCNs of 3% would be hazardous waste. The average electrolyte content of a PCN-type capacitor is 25% by weight of the capacitor with the concentration of PCN in the electrolyte being approximately 90%. The presumption is therefore that PCN-type capacitors will be hazardous waste.
Many people are unaware that when outdated capacitors reach the end of their useful life, they should never be thrown away in general waste. This is due to the fact that electrical equipment frequently contains a number of dangerous compounds. Thus, they have an influence on the environment and human health.
Small capacitors, like resistors, are normally discarded as conventional waste. E-waste recycling centers will accept these components for recycling. PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are harmful and should be treated as hazardous waste in oil-filled capacitors. Here are 5 ways you can follow to safely dispose of resistors and capacitors:
In most modern appliances they simply act as small ‘starting’ units. The conductive medium is an electrolyte such as glycol: With a risk phrase of R222 glycol would have to account for more than 25% w/w in total of the capacitor to make the equipment hazardous (H5 - harmful). Many electrolytes may not have known R phrases.
A capacitor, an essential component of most electronic items, can be recycled, but it’s not as simple as setting it out for recycling pickup. Capacitors are often made of a lot of metal. This is where your capacitor’s recycling comes in. You may be able to recycle your capacitor depending on the sort of metal it contains.
