That's one of the items that has begun plaguing the local Storage Locker Business.

People will rent a locker for a month, paying cash; load it up with old Frigs (and other toxic junk, old paint, tires, etc), and then they'll abandon the locker . . . . Voila’, Problem Gone!

Hey thats a good idea!,
I hate a nasty maggot filled stinking to high heaven refrigerator full of food that’s been without power for about 2 months in warm weather, (smell, gag gag puke)
the only thing worst is a overflowing soiled toilet with maggots in the summer time, (smell, gag gag puke)

I have found to put myself in a happy place while completing some jobs,

Post an ad on Craigslist for FREE scrap metal. Set it out when you arrive. By the time you leave it should be gone. No hassles on your end. This is what works here. If there are several, we just haul them direct to the local recycler and they crush them and give us about $8 each for them even with all the funky food inside, freon and all. It amazes me how different things are from area to area. In Phoenix, anything you want to get rid of will fly away from the street as long as it is usable to someone. I love it when the neighbor walks over and says hey I will give you 10 bucks for that and I will move it for you. BONUS....Bud Light Money for later.

I have noticed that if you say "FREE", people will often ignore it for days, thinking that it's just trash; BUT if you put out a sign saying "FOR SALE" with a price like $10.00 . . . . then they'll take it away when you're not looking.
