how do I dispose of old window air conditioners

I live in Tn and in July & August the heat can be brutal. I am able to leave my A/C unit off until 3:00 pm even then by leaving my house closed up in the morning with shades and curtains pulled and my ceiling fans on. While people are complaining of $200 plus elec bills, I can keep it at or below $100 during the hottest months. Staying hydrated is very important and that goes for your pets as well. For your outside animals, make sure their water is in the shade and change out twice daily. I also do this with mt bird baths.

we have ceiling fans to circulate the air.

Way back in the 60's, before air conditioning was affordable to most people, my Grandma would hang a wet, not dripping, towel over the face of the fan to not only cool the air but to put the much needed moisture back into it :)
