What if the hinges are down?

You're saying that you know positively that
several hundred readers didn't think of that?

I'm calling for proof.

Some utilities will pay you ~$50 and they pick it up. Mine is now on
hold for now, due to legal concerns.

Some places require you take the door off.

OTOH, most appliance dealers will take the old one away when they
deliver the new one.

Refrigerator Recycling

https://www.nvenergy.com/home/saveenergy/rebates/refrigeratorrecycling.cfm

My utility ran a rebate program to get old, inefficient refrigerators replaced/recycled.

If you bought a new fridge and had them pick up your old one, they would take the
old away for free and give you some kind of rebate on the cost of a new one. The only
restriction was that the old and new fridges had to be a minimum size, I think 10 cu ft.

I didn't qualify because my old basement fridge was just under the minimum. When
I asked them about the size limit, they said something about the efficiency differential
between old and new at the small sizes wasn't large enough to make much of a
difference. It was a while ago and I honestly don't remember the exact reason, but
I still have the old 9.5 cu ft, internal freezer fridge in the basement.
