    Hi Lawrence,

    just ask your local council for the nearest envoroment agency office, they are not geographical and may cover more than one county, then simply fill in the form with your cash and wait while they check you out.

    Cheers Bob.

    Best wear clean underwear then.

    Or are there some pre requisites designed to exclude certain people.

    Well you can see where this is going when you have such a government so into a welfare state system or nouveau-communism. We will eventually have to pay all our profit or wages into a central state fund and then some Bordon Frown will allocate each individual a monthly allowance or pocket money. Of course there will be a well paid and benefited republican guard of public sector pen pushers to ensure we are `farmed` for all we are worth. Then `Oh Joy`, the ultimate work provider, doleing out repairs here, installations there all with the grace of a 99 year old ballerina.

    Am I paranoid, no! just schizophrenic 👿

    I will normally remove the old appliance and take it to the scrapyard, were I can dump it free of charge, however for refrigeration, I will normally call the councils ERIC refuse service, this used to allow the free collection of old appliancs etc from the customers address, but since March of this year they have been making a charge of £15.00 per item collected,…a great money making idea dreamt up by some faceless pen pusher,..but in reality, the borough of wirral has seen fly tipping increase by almost 30 percent, and the ERIC staff who used to be so much in demand, are now working for another department called THE VULTURE, their job is to travel around and clear up the stuff that the once free ERIC service would once have collected, but is now strewn along the side of quiet roads and down alleys etc, will they never learn.
