RE: [BlindHandyMan] disposal
While this may not be a solution for Robert, since his freezer is not working, note that some utility companies, because the government is twisting their arm, will take away old appliances and even pay you something for them. The hitch is that they have to be running and cooling. I had a refrigerator that quit on me recently. It was not the compressor, but we decided that rather than put money into an old one, we'd upgrade to a newer, more energy efficient model. So I rewired the appliance to bypass whatever control was not working,. It would run and cool whenever I plugged it in, so I couldn't leave it plugged in very long, but it worked and I got rid of the old clunker.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] disposal
I haven't been following this topic so you may have had input that I am repeating. If you are going to purchase a new one, many times the appliance delivery folks will take yours away. Sometimes it is worth paying for the delivery to get rid of the old one. At 08:10 PM 7/20/2008, you wrote: Well, as this freezer is toast, whom should I call to dispose of it?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] disposal
as Betsy stated you can have the company that delivers a new one to remove it for you or if there any teenagers in your area you can have them take it to a scrap yard and allow them to keep any funds they are paid for the scrap as here I was talking to a appliance delivery guy this is how he disposes of as many as twenty dishwashers a week just a low cost idea good luck Allen Dunbar - Original Message - From: Betsy Whitney To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 2:14 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] disposal I haven't been following this topic so you may have had input that I am repeating.

If you're getting a new one let that company take the old one away for you. - Original Message - From: Robert Riddle To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 2:10 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] disposal Well, as this freezer is toast, whom should I call to dispose of it?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] disposal
Just another thought. Sometimes people have to pay the scrap yard to take things that have certain kinds of gasses or chemicals in them. Refrigerators and freezers fall into that category, which is why if you're getting a new one, pay to have it delivered and let them hall the old one away.
