How can I get rid of the Zimmer frame, toilet surround and other paraphernalia

[MrsSchadenfreude]

That the hospital sent home with my DM when she was briefly discharged? The hospital don’t want to know - they said it will have come from an agency, and there will be a label on it. The only label is a bar code - no name of any agency. It seems crazy that we have all of this stuff and no-one seems to care.

No wonder the planet is buggered.

If the council don't respond, take it to a waste disposal centre.

Maybe you could set up a recycling business.

No thanks - I do enough at home. But throwaway culture is environmentally disastrous and economically wasteful.

It looks like you have help for your specific area for where to return to given hospital it came from

In our area it's joint stores (nhs/ social care) that provide these (be they from hospital it community) , the telephone number is attached to yellow label and bar code, and you can also ring social care OTs to ask for joint stores number (if it has rubbed off) - to raise a collection request. It's takes about 3 -5 working days to get it collected
