San Jose / NorCal peeps,
I have a working (but old) dishwasher I need to get rid of but I don't want to pay to put it in the ground. Does anyone around here know how to get rid of such a thing? I tried Goodwill (nope) and don't want to spend all day calling charities (and most are probably closed today anyway). I can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) it as a last resort but would rather not take the time. If I end up dismantling it I may keep the motor, but I don't think it's as strong as my old washing machine motor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) |

Haven't you heard of the Craigslist Strangler?
I was trying to think of some alternative way to use it for anodizing aluminum parts; but true to silicon valley the real estate this thing takes up is worth more the the item so no partswasher for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I definitely do better with "take it somewhere and drop it" vs "come and get it". Not sure why probably just (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

I put a sign on my old one that said, " FREE WORKS" and put it at the end of the driveway.
It was gone in about 15 minutes Works well for air conditioners, vacuums, lawnmowers, mother in laws Mark |

I had a washer and dryer that a good friend of mine's brother came to buy, and as they were loading 'em up, I reminded him that the discounted price included the mandatory dish washer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
(Which come to think of it, is similiar to how I got my FIRST 914...) |

Last month, our old dishwasher was on it's last legs, making a awful grinding noise, so we bought and I installed a new replacement. Project went smoothly and only took a couple of hours. Imagine that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
The old one got dumped into the metal recycle bin at the local recycle center. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |

garbage co. will pick up 3 large items for $21, best deal in town... Sawzall, I'm telling you. In ten minutes you can make that one large item into two dozen small ones and send them all out with the recyclable cans, saving yourself $21. Not only that, but you can make it a party! Those SoCal guys don't seem to need any special reason to have a barbque, imagine the goings on if they had some appliances to cut up! |
