No, I don't think you are trash.  About three weeks ago our washing
machine broke down and our new neighbors had an extra one that had
been left in the house when they moved in, so they gave it to us.  I
installed the one they gave us and threw the old one out in the front
yard.  It's still sitting there.  My question is, "How long can I
leave it out there before we become trash?"  I live in North Stafford
VA and my pickup truck, which had previously sat out front without
moving for a couple of months, is now running again, so just as soon
as I get it street legal I could theoretically take the washer to the
dump.  Any advice is greatly appreciated.
