1-800-JUNK. (That's not a joke!). When I moved into my apartment I had my
own refrigerator. They took theirs out (and deducted a few bucks off the
monthly rent) and I used mine until it finally died (it was close to 20
years old). When it *did* die I was stuck with getting rid of the old one.
Called 1-800-JUNK and they sent a couple of guys over with a big truck.
They hauled off the refrigerator (to an appropriate disposal place) and an
old overstuffed chair for under $100.
