It's a massive pain in the tookus to get a dead refrigerator hauled away.

[MrCoffee]

Sweet jumping beans, I need to find an empty lot to ditch this thing in.

:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Won't the company bringing a new one haul it away?

:shrug: I know Lowe's does.

[flvegan]

2. Shh...I want to see him move that thing out.

[MrCoffee]

4. Whatever. I could move it no problem...I'm just wicked lazy.

[flvegan]

5. Don't you live upstairs?

[MrCoffee]

7. No, but the driveway has a serious slope to it

And it's, like, really really far and stuff.

[flvegan]

12. Ah

For some reason I was thinking you lived upstairs.

If you put wheels under it, you could surf it to the curb. With the doors off, you could row it. Put that on YouTube.

[MrCoffee]

15. That'll teach the bastard who parks way too close to my driveway.

You've inspired me. Ramming speed, Captain!

[MrCoffee]

3. For 85 bucks they'd be glad to do it

Screw that. The city will take it for $31 if I take the doors off and put it on private property (not a curb strip)...except that all I've got is curb strip, sidewalk and a concrete retaining wall.

I'm screwn.

[AlCzervik]

6. thats a fun toy for kids you know.

[MrCoffee]

8. Shhhh...BabyCoffee is playing hide and seek with MrsCoffee

He's a GOOD hider.

[AlCzervik]

9. you should go take a nap, i'm sure there's plenty of air in his hiding spot.

[MrCoffee]

10. uffuff.

[AlCzervik]

11. gimme some lipstick and a quarter.

[MrCoffee]

20. Funny, that's exactly what a girl I dated in college said

Fun times.

[AlCzervik]

30. stop posting shit about your mom.

:D

[XemaSab]

26. Paint a clown on it

and dump it in the vacant lot next to the school.

[AlCzervik]

27. "Free candy"

[Orrex]

13. Save it -- it will completely protect you against a nearby nucular bomb test

:evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

23. Where would BabyCoffee hide?

I wonder how he's doing...he stopped pounding on the door a few minutes ago.

[Richard Steele]

14. Dude: ten minutes with a Sawzall will turn that fridge into trash-bag sized pieces.

There's not much that's real SOLID in a refrigerator besides the motor
and compressor pump. The rest is just plastic and thin sheet metal around
a core of styrofoam insulation.

A Sawzall will section an old fridge as easy as cutting plywood.
Ten good minutes will turn it into a small pile of flat pieces,
with a motor and compressor on top.

Then ya just sneak a piece or three into your regular garbage
every week for a month or two...

[MrCoffee]

19. Don't even tempt me like that

MrsCoffee was pretty pissed when I chopped up the queen-sized box spring in the backyard. I can't imagine the conniption fit she'd have if I tried to dissect a fridge back there.

[Richard Steele]

25. You have a back yard? Problem solved!

Lay it on its back, plant vegetables in it, and call it "helping to save the planet".

Mrs. Coffee can't possibly be AGAINST saving the planet, can she? :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

16. Put it on the curb with a For Sale sign.

:)

[MrCoffee]

17. It worked great just last week!

Sorry, I don't have an extension cord long enough to prove it.

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

18. Oh no, you don't actually sell it.

You just establish the perception that it's worth money, turn your back, and wait for somebody with poor judgment and worse morals to take it off your hands.

[Orrex]

21. I recommend attaching a "WORKS GOOD" sign to maximize your curbside advertising dollar

Every little bit helps.

[LeftyMom]

22. And a price. I'd say $50 is enough to assure somebody steals it.

This trick also works with couches.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

29. You mean it's not dead???

My old one cools beverages in the garage.

Or, offer it for free on Craigslist.

If it's not dead.

:hi:

[MrCoffee]

31. It suffered a fatal compressor meltdown

The repairman on the phone laughed at MrsCoffee and told her to just go buy a new fridge.

[Richardo]

24. ...or a 'Please Do Not Steal' sign

MAn around here we have scavengers patrolling the neighborhoods every trach day to get the steel/aluminum/metal recyclables for their own profit. Stuff like a refrigerator doesn't last two hours on the curb.

28. It costs us money to ditch things at the dump...

It goes by weight. It cost us $25 to dump our sofa. That's why our basement is a "storage" area.
