That's one reason I like having a dumpster.. and an FEL.. old appliances look just like scrap metal after the FEL is done w/ them.. kinda fun busting them up too!

Jerry the scrap man here takes em all, I usually keep a few old freezers and fridges for the skins Ill air shear the them and use them to repair planter hoppers and such. A few years ago a customer came by and had 4 refrigerators she wanted the racks out of. I had to grind the last racc out of one and while i was inside talking to her we smelled plastic. It made a nice smoke my younger brother saw it 12 miles away and called to make sure my inner pyro hadnt escaped. The local fire department tried to write me up but i told them it had shorted out. When burnt out they make good scrap bins and I usually put one under the burn table to hold slag.
I think its a scam about the freon, a few months ago the county pasted out a sheet telling that it was illegal for me an othe folks to take tree service debris that it had to be land filled. I usually compost it or use the tbig chunks as fuel. I told the county man to tell me why. He said oh it has to be land filled because it gives off methane a green house gas. A month later i was at the landfill looking and they were trying out a compost turner. I talked to my friend at the equipment dealership and they said that the county was going to start selling boiler fuel and compost. It wasnt for the county either it was the supervisors and their landfill buddies. We brought that up and the rule eased down and hasnt been heard of since.

<font color="blue"> Why do I want to keep my welding rods away from humidity? </font>
Humidity will tend to soften the rod coatings. With some they won't burn properly. With enough that coating will just crumble away altogether.
Maybe you could keep your welding rods on one shelf and your cigars on another. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Between a sawzall and an air chisel I've trashed a dishwasher, a built in oven, and a large window A/C. Cut it up, throw it in a box, and they'll haul anything away.

My nephew had a gas stove that they removed during a remodel. The trash folks wouldn't take it. So we cut it into manageable chunks with the Sawzall. They did take the chunks a few at a time.
I love my Sawzall!

Landfills make methane gas, weather you put compost in or not. You are required to collect, contain, burn or distribute the gas. You cannot let it migrate off site.
We are required to have the tag on freon filled appliances. We don't make the rules, we follow the rules. Sorry guys.
The big appliances that we collect here we store and sell usually. They take up space, which is precious. Why bury when you can sell, or someone pick up for free?
