Why not Ask Rick!
OK, Its questions like this that were really the motivation for Ask Rick!. Sure people ask me technical questions, and that makes sense. After all I’m a programmer. I have a good understanding of technical things. But I often get questions were my initial response is “Why the fuck are you asking me?”
Hey Rick, I want to get rid of an old fridge, who should I call? Can’t I just dump it in the nearest dumpster?
Um sure you could, but that’s probably illegal. Besides, for the sake of Pete, try to be a little more friendly towards the environment. Try calling you local power company. Often times they have recycling or buy-back programs on older less energy efficient appliances. Try a recycling center. If all else fails, you can call you local city’s bulky item pick-up and they’ll haul it away. It the city of Los Angeles, you can call the Bureau of Sanitation Bulky Item Pick-Up hotline at (800) 773-2489.
P.S. Thanks for the submission Mike! I love you.
