A typical popcorn machine will last about 10 years. This number can vary depending on how much the popcorn popper is used. For example, a popcorn machine at a bar may get regular use, potentially more on a weekend. But a movie theater popcorn machine is constantly in use and may need more maintenance. When your old popcorn machine has seen its last days, consider eco-friendly disposal options like donation or recycling. You can call a junk removal company like LoadUp to handle all the removal and disposal for you.
