Why not Ask Rick!
January 3rd, 2006
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.
