Home blood pressure monitors, both digital automatic models and manual aneroid (dial) versions. Treat these like other small home medical electronics: donate if working, e-waste recycle if not.

Quick answer
A working blood pressure monitor is worth donating to a clinic, senior center, or thrift store before recycling it. If it's broken or a clinic won't take it, recycle it as electronics, not household trash, since it has a circuit board and battery like other small electronics.
