But I have several tvs, a large old freezer, couple of air
conditioners, washer, dryer, dishwasher, and more. And no
way to move the larger items by myself.

If any of them work (or can be easily restored to working order), call the St. Vincent de Paul
Society and arrange to donate them. They will pick them up, and you'll get a tax deduction.

For the non-working ones, it probably makes sense to rent a pickup truck and haul them to
a scrap metal dealer. Scrap steel is worth in the neighborhood of $180 a ton (nine cents a
pound). You can rent pickup trucks at Lowe's or Home Depot for about $20 an hour, so if
you have three or four hundred pounds of scrap steel in the non-working appliances, you'll
approximately break even on that. Before renting one, though, ask your neighbors, friends,
co-workers, or relatives. Chances are good that someone you know has a pickup truck --
and an investment of ten or fifteen bucks in a 12-pack of good beer will pay off handsomely
here.

Non-working air conditioners and freezers, you're probably going to have to haul to a
licensed hazmat scrapper. Especially if they're really old -- very few places have
equipment to evacuate R12 any more, and nobody wants it. And don't even think about
dumping them somewhe that's not littering, that's illegal disposal of hazardous waste.
