Drain all oil, wash the exterior to get loose oily crap off it, strap to a pallet, take is to a Yellow Terminal and have it sent to closest Yellow terminal, hold it there for pick-up. Local pick-up & deliver tend to be very expensive as you will need a tailgate delivery. If you have a friend with a business that ships, the rate can get 50% or more discount off of tariff.
