Fridge disposal

[Confuseddotcotton]

Some twat dumped a fridge and oven in my front garden last night.

The oven I can get my local scrap metal man to pick up.

He doesn’t do fridges though..

Any recommendations for fridge disposal? I would rather not have to pay to dispose of a fridge that’s not mine!

Try the council?

Call the council and report it as fly tipping

Council, but you will have to pay unfortunately.

What kind of low life does that?

Report as fly tipping- why should you incur costs ?

as it's on private land it's the land owner's responsibility now to dispose off.
yes to council. either you take it to the recycling centre (might be free) or you ask them to pick it up for a fee.
best to get rid promptly or people will add to the junk.
and keep your front garden tidy, that usually deters bastards like that.

I looked up my council policy, as it’s on my land, not public footpath they won’t collect for free.

I could just move fridge to the pavement but it will then block the path to the school down the road, lots of prams etc.

I’ll pay them to take it, just annoying that I have to.

My front garden is very tidy thank you redchocolatebutton

Well, it was before some twat dumped stuff in it!

Where I’m from Liverpool we have a service called Bulky Bob ran by Liverpool City council. I don’t know if your council do one. The pro is Its free and they take up to 5 items. The con is you may have to wait a few weeks. You can always google waste collection but You’ll have to pay and it’s hardly fair that you’re out of pocket because some prick decided to blatantly use your garden as a rubbish tip.

Oh sorry op. I didn’t read your update. It’s maddening, is it.

Of course you move it onto the public pathway! Honestly the idea that you could pay maddens me- if you have money to give away I’ll take some!

I would put on public path and report fly tipping. No way would I pay for the council to take it

If the OP puts it onto the public path they would be fly-tipping and liable to prosecution.

Possibly not the best suggestion.

I’ve rung the council and because it’s on private land they don’t want to know.
I won’t move it on to the pavement as it will block the path to the school, and then I would be the fly tipper..
I have arranged for someone to collect, £20 so not too bad.
Very annoying though. I wonder why they picked my garden. They had to hoof it over a fence, next door had open driveway so would have been much easier!

If the council won’t take it they’re encouraging fly tipping.
Oh and £20 might not be a lot but it’s not a little either. Some people don’t have that a week to spend on groceries
