On Saturday,
JACO Environmental came and picked up our old fridge. I just signed up online and they came in 5 days. Not only was it free, but they said they'll do the paperwork for PG&E to send me $35!
Woohoo! That's a huge savings compared to paying "professionals" $270 to remove it. Thanks to my professional crew of Chris, Martin, Oliver and Wayland for removing the old fridge and installing the new. I've never moved anything over 500 lbs. so this was quite a challenge for all of us to tip it down onto a couple of floor dollies and roll it out the patio door.
So to you fridge shoppers, here's your tip to get your $35. When your new fridge gets delivered, just have them move your old one into the garage for JACO to pick up at a later date. Western Appliance charges $10 to haul away, while others offer it for free. But if you don't mind giving up some garage space for a week, that $35 is easy money. And to you non-fridge shoppers who just want $35, just go on
Craigslist and find a free one. Haul it home and call JACO.
Hmm, I wonder if there's a limit...
Well we've been using the new fridge for a week now, and to sum it up in a word: small. There's an obvious void surrounding the fridge, but we have another cabinet to fill the top space. As for the inside, we used to buy 2 gallons of milk, now only one. All bulky boxed items are now transferred to ziploc bags. And our freezer is a bit heavy to pull out because it's jam packed (with ice cream heehee). A lot of getting used to. But are we worried? No.
Within an hour after JACO left, my coworker Eugene dropped off his old 18 cu. Whirlpool fridge. He just happened to have an extra one to give away (along with an extra friend and truck to deliver).
God is good! We even have a dedicated space in the garage for it. A great backup plan to store all my mom's frozen chickens, potstickers and jungs. We haven't started using it yet, but when we need it, it's readily available. And if we decide we no longer want it,
cha-ching, $35!!
