Would you pay to have an old refrigerator stripped out for

I was merely wondering, there is a commercial recycling operation nearby, & in our area it is ominously famous for having the biggest fridge mountain (funnily enough not advertised as a tourist attraction) :?

But it did make me think, if you could spec a freezer & have its compressor etc stripped out & prepared for then basic work would you pay for that service in order to get what you needed sooner & your project going at full tilt?

if so what would you pay for typical sized units collection / delivery from a professional recycling concern.

what would you want removed / left in specifically.

How long did it take for fridge / freezer smokers to get the strip down & disposal of surplus waste route?

$0.15/ Lb. the going rate for scrap metal, the salvage company has recovered the Freon and the copper from the motor and compressor, what is left is scrap metal
