Depends on how big your residential setting is...this dish is at the air traffic control building by my workplace. I want to ask them about it but then I realize there is no way something like this can be set up in a residential setting.
That looks like a bell ku dish. I dont think i have any use for itIf thy do not give you big one ask for a small one (yellow arrow).
It will fit in the backyard but i might get a visit from bylaw enforcement hahaDepends on how big your residential setting is...
Oh wow, Canada has those commie HOAs too? Canadian laws are typically more sane than the Americans' so I figured they would've been banned up there.
When we bought this house, if it was in a HOA it would've been a deal breaker.

We do have HOAs but most of them are not bad to deal with. Thankfully where I live there is no HOA. I think our town has a bylaw that states that the top of a satellite dish cannot exceed 12ft from the ground. What i cant remember is that if this law only applies if a dish is installed in the front of the property or this applies to a backyard too
I Googled it and there are by-laws in Edmonton for dishes.
Here's the guide:

. anythings possiblehell id'e park that bitch in my back yard and not cared what anyone thought. untill they pay my bills and taxes no one is gonna tell me what i can and can't do on my propertythis dish is at the air traffic control building by my workplace. I want to ask them about it but then I realize there is no way something like this can be set up in a residential setting.
That's good because Edmonton's by-law is quite prohibitive. I'd be done in for sure. My 10 footer is 4 feet from the sidewalk in front of my house, 2 feet from the property line.I live in Devon, its a small town south of Edmonton. We have our own bylaws
Its a good thing that my house faces north so i can put the dish in my backyard and nobody other than my adjacent neighbors would notice it
I think that unless you really want a fixed dish, the Andrews would be hard to justify. Just getting it down would probably require a crane and special insurance. There are still plenty of good 'ol C band dishes out there free for the taking that would be much easier to get and set up.
Crane! What for?! Possible to dismantle step-by-step and piece-by-piece, transport by trailer and assemble again in a new place. That is from experience.
I guess if they'd let you carry it through the building and down the stairs in 10 or 20 trips up and down. My guess is that if its a secure site, they'd say no.
I think that we are counting chickens before they hatchet . But, wait a minute.... why not dream little bit! 
Let's say the company agrees to give away the dish. Than the easiest and cheapest way to remove it would be on the route I've marked in yellow. 8 aluminum petals the dish is made from not so heavy but quite bulky. So, 3 persons in 1-2 days wold be able to dismantle all parts and slide them on roped to the ground.
P.S. Solid dish, such as this Andrew is much better than any mesh one, cuz it will work better, especially in K-band.
