It went along the lines of saving them having to load it up and haul it off
    My worry is exactly that, people are generally cheap and often don't see the value you can provide by getting rid of their giant space occupying appliance. They also (often not always) don't realize the hassle they would have to put up with removing it themselves
    Plus I worry if I start charging a fee I'll be considered a business which opens a new can of worms: probably need a business license, taxes might have to be implemented, people will want reciepts etc etc, can't easily do "nobody's home" pickups, some people may want to pay with credit etc
