Passing Time Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 10 hours ago, John Wright said: Had to replace a small fridge I keep in my en-suite for medicines and cold water and ( soft ) drinks. I think I paid £50 for it 10+ years ago. Replacement cost £90. Willing to pay the £36 fee. Would they take it? No. Why? It is lockable, therefore it must be commercial. They don’t take commercial waste. It’s a cube, 15”x15”x15”. Is it any wonder people fly tip. Asked if allowed to remove door. No! Never had a problem with them in all the years I have had to take stuff down there. Mind you if you talk to them the way you talk to people on here, it's not surprising they were unhelpful 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Flint Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Here's a wheeze. I don't use my green bin so did an experiment, keeping all our aluminium in it until it was full. Ten kilos. Weighed it in - £6.50! We've reverted to just chucking it in with the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no different to what they’d do to it at the tip. I just save myself some money. When I cut it up I was surprised that it was just basically kingspan covered in plastic. The inner materials of a fridge had never occurred to me until then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was the gas that was the issue. Yeah, everything else is just your common or garden materials. Quite a bit of steel too.

Yes , in a previous life used to build Coldrooms to hang meat and poultry in. Just basically timber stud work lined with a heavy coarse polystyrene like product then a bitumen coating sealing it all. A temperature resistant wall type board then fixed on. Very simple with the compressor mounted separately outside and condenser inside. It’s moved on lots since then (early 70’s) but principal is still the same . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can arrange collection on-line. England has to pay for all the free services in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
