When a hauler makes sense here
The transfer station is close, and it is the cheapest way out if you can lift the thing and own a truck. A refrigerator on a steep gravel drive is where that plan tends to stop.
Tell us about the driveway grade, any steps at the door, and whether a truck can turn around. Those three answers set up the job better than anything else.
