Default My crappy new washing machine

I often see FREE washers and dryers on Craigslist.


Bingo!

Many ppl jes give them away or sell them dirt cheap when moving. Same
with chest freezers and refrigerators. Also, the cost of dumping a
large old house appliance has now become costly. I gave away my
perfectly good washer/dryer and had to pay $20 to dispose of my
ancient ....but still working.... refrigerator, when I could not take
them with me on a four-states-away move.


To get rid of unwanted, large appliances (or even outdated computers):

1. Wait for the dark of the moon,
2. Place them in the nearest school's playground.

That's what Dilbert's pointy-haired boss did.

Seriously, though, taking a tip from the Sloane-Kettering Clinic, I put
things like that on the curb. The urban fairies evidently tuck them in the
little sacks all fairies carry (sometimes called "fag-bags") and POOF!
refrigerators, ranges, and the like, just disappear.
