  • old satellite dishes

    What do you do with them or dispose them? I have an old dish from the previous owner of my house that the gutter guys took down. Is there somewhere to take them or do you throes them to the curb?

      You can scrap them but don't expect much $

        I've yet to figure that out myself. I've got 2 on the house from before I moved in and I can't stand them.

          Sell them for scrap aluminum, or if you do not want to mess with it, craigslist it as free for pickup after you sit it by the curb.

            I destroyed one with a bb gun a year or so back. Was fun.

              Curb it tonight it will be gone by morning. There is a market for the as long as it is a complete dish, with the LBN still attached to it

                For some reason I thought this was about one of the old, big satellite dishes from the 70's/80's.

                  Is the lbn the thing that points at the dish? If so, its still in there.

                    I cook stir-fry in mine. It always tastes kind of funny for some reason.

                    This would work too.

                      Yup sure does. People will buy it because, they can put a dish at another house and just buy a receiver and connect their sevice at another location.

                      That is what I did. One location at my parents house which is the billing address then hooked up a used dish and got another box there. So, pay one service with just additional boxes.

                          I took mine down, then attached $20 worth of 1" square mirrors to it and with a little fab work made an adjustable pot holder. In direct sunlight in the summer it would make wood catch fire within 15 seconds. It was fun for a bit.

                            They make great frisbees for the kids. Dogs don't care too much for them tho.
