[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 399770, member: 1233"] If they won't repair or replace it, why would they care what you do with it? I would let them know that you want it gone, and if they don't come get it then you will have it disposed of because it is no longer working. in my opinion that is courtesy and they might be willing to haul it off. Otherwise sometimes there are ads in the paper for people who want broken appliances to repair and they will come and get them from you. If you can get that done, go for it. Otherwise you iwll have to move it out of the way and then move your own in. If you don't have one, check out Habitat for Humanity's Restore. They are all over the country now and often have good working appliances donates. MANY of our landlords will have them pick up appliances the college kids leave and often they were bought brand new 1 or 2 years before. I have NO clue why college kids here think everything is disposable, but they do. It used to be only the foreign students for whom the cost of taking anything home involves overseas shipping but now MANY of our students think that when they get a job after college they can just leave EVERYTHING behind - and they do, buying new when they get wherever they are going. I actually have 3 tv's that are small but fine for game playing that we got from the curb or for $5 from a student who was moving.
