What to do with a toxic freezer?

Lumbering Soul asked:
So I bought a house and found a non-working freezer full of toxic sludge…..the remains of the food that was in it. I can’t take it to the dump because of CFC release, They have an appliance drop off, but they have to be clean. Does anyone have any idea how I can get rid of it? (aside from just dumping it somewhere, I really DON’T want to do that) By the way it stinks soooo bad that you can hardly stand to open it, much less clean it out.

Contact your local council office and ask if they have any services that will remove it, otherwise you best bet is to got to a ahrdware store and get some breathing masks and see if they have something that will either break it down or clean it out.

It sounds like you don’t want to clean it, bottom line. If that’s the case, may I suggest that you get strong help with a dolly or handcart to take it outside to a low profile place, such as behind your garage, and open the thing and leave it propped open to air. In a week or so, approach it with gloves and a garbage bag, and you should be able to get rid of the contents within an hour at most. Then call the appliance pickup people and have them come get the clean appliance.
