If your city doesn’t have a haul away day, or you can’t wait for the next one, taking your items to a local landfill is the next best option. Renting a trailer, asking your neighbors, or borrowing a truck for the day can help clear out your large items.
It may not be the easiest solution, but loading up your old fridge you can’t stand to look at any longer might be worth the hassle.
It’s a good idea to call your local landfills to confirm their hours of operation, see what items they will accept, and find out their pricing model. Most landfills will charge a flat fee for any load under 500 pounds total.
