You cannot willfully destroy your old radio.

The Law Explained

During the early days of broadcasting, radios were expensive and considered vital tools for public emergency broadcasts. The state made it an offense to intentionally smash or destroy your radio, likely to ensure citizens could still receive civil defense warnings. Today, throwing away a broken Bluetooth speaker probably violates the spirit of this law.
