We recently replaced our microwave and dishwasher, both of which in keeping with my tradition of holiday disasters broke down and couldn't be fixed (I had to replace my desktop computer tower as well.) So we loaded them onto the truck and headed for the local waste facility.
It always surprises me to see what people throw out. That red thing is either a washer or dryer and, if memory serves, quite expensive new.
Seeing the little trophies next to a backward HOPE sign was a bit sad. On the upside, we have a new microwave and dishwasher, and I'm working on fine-tuning the new computer I just installed.

We usually let whoever delivers our new appliances to take away the old. But the last thing that went out was our freezer which we weren't replacing. I found someone on NextDoor to pick it up since he takes metals to recycling. I'm told people like that make a goodly amount of money on these things, so it helped both of us out.
I am a scavenger. When people clean out houses, they usually leave vast amounts on the sidewalk. I've found all sorts of neat things that are both useful and vintage. Just like me. LOL!
