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)

Actually, when I moved I put everything up on Craigs list. Most stuff taken with in the first 3 hours.

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

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)

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!
