Default Taking Off a Ladder Rack Ram

Hi there guys, I am trying to find a place to take off a Ladder Rack on my Ram. I'm sure most of you will suggest to take it off myself, but I don't have any tools (even if I did, I wouldn't know how to work them), and I don't really have any friends that are very handy with tools either. Is there any places that will take a rack off of my truck for me if I paid them (and maybe even dispose of it or take it off my hands for me afterwards?)? Also, if I were to take the rack off, how would I carry it to the dump? It will be too big to put in the back. I live in the bay area by the way if it makes a difference. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions guys!

FInd a off road shop that sells that kind of stuff and tell them if they take it off they can have it. Or run a add in a paper stating that someone can have it if they come and take it off.

the SF bay area?? because if you do there is this place in oakland that would take it, you just have to unbolt it from the body and they have a crane to take it off.

I am not going to get on a soapbox now, but you really should invest in some tools if you have the money. A good starter set from Sears isn't that expensive and you really couldn't screw up taking a ladder rack off. Righty tighty lefty loosy is all you need to know really. Just be careful if you do buy some tools because once you start wrenching and buying them it becomes addictive or atleast it did for me. I am a mechanic but I would hate to think what I have in tools, it was like $6,000 last time I added up the receipts.
