And I didn't have to lift it, either, that's where a minivan is most 
handy ... the back bumper/tailgate is at the perfect tip point for a 
28KSR.  I just "walked" it on its opposite corners over the sidewalk and 
down the curb to the back of the van, tipped it back on the tailgate and 
slid 'er home.  I doubt the trash guys even saw it, ;)

Fortunately it wasn't a 28ASR ... there's no way I could have nabbed one 
of those as quickly and easily without help and/or some disassembly.
