How do handle disposal of old cabs?

[Dervacumen]

Sure, I could take it to a junk yard, but is there any hope of recylcing old particle board, etc?

I had a chance to get a bunch of mostly worthless crap at the last auction, but then I'm stuck with...well you know...crap.

What do you all do with that worthless cab that you gutted?

What do you have, and where is it?  What's worthless to you may not be worthless to others.  Post here.

Actually, since you are in CA it won't be easy. The only real way to do it is to load it up, drive it to Arkansas, and drop it in my driveway.

My first auction was like that.  I bought about 10 dilapidated cabinets for a dollar each.  I hauled them home and stripped them of anything useful.  Joysticks, buttons, coindoors, marquees, etc, etc...  A majority of them had things in the bottom you did not want to get near, nor stir up, so living in a rural area.. they were purified with the flame.

I always would find at least $12.35 in change as well, but drumming up the courage to touch anything in the bottom of a cabinet always takes a while...

I am nt proud of this methos but it works for old furniture, christmas trees, and other junk that the garbage man won't take.

Use you circular saw / jig saw / axe / hammer, to brak it up into "trash can" sized peices.

That will make your garbage guy love you..

Even better, put it in your front yard for a couple days with a sign that says "free to good home"  some idiot will pick it up.

I guess I could have been more clear.  I don't have any extra cabinets at the moment, but I may be getting one that really is beyond hope.  Severely waterlogged, chunks missing, just a shell.

More to the point, I just went to a superauction, and there was a LOT of junk there.  If I had a large moving van I probably could have gotten 20 cabinets for under $100.  Not to mention the cocktail cabinets that were in horrible shape.

But upon getting them home and salvaging a few parts I'd be left with some serious junk.  Certainly nothing someone would drive an hour or more one way for (I don't exactly live inthe city, y'know).

Do you guys just off unwanted empty shells at the dump, put them on the street with a FREE sign, what?

I do the same, but have no sense of shame about it. They really love it when it's full top to bottom with broken up sheetrock.

You'd probably have more luck with a $10 sign.  If something's free, most people will assume it's junk.  If there's a price, it's almost guaranteed that someone'll take it in the middle of the night.

Ha! That reminds me of the time I was working the roof and my girlfriend was cleaning up all the shingles in the yard. She picked up all the shingles and put them in a trashbag in the middle of the yard. The thing must've been 3 feet around and 36 inches high full of shingles before she realized that the trash bag wouldn't hold them.

I buy that junk at superauctions. And I drive across town to pick up gutted shells too. My friend's cab is an old waterlogged shell for some torpedo game.

LOL good one!
That way only a thief ends up having to deal with it after they find out it's worthless.

 This is what the idiot and his buddy will look like when they pick up your discarded cab:

                 

Then they take it home and try to salvage it:

                 


And this is what you will look like after you read the post that they put up asking how to dispose of the junk cab they found in some joker's front yard:
