No one has answered the question - have they ........?
Why is it I would be allowed to take the freezer to the tip ?

Re: This is odd ........
I take it you have already bought the new freezer? Quite a number of big companies operate a 'Recycling' service for old appliances and will take the old one away for you, for instance ...Currys Recycling

I phoned a company - 'no we can't take it to the tip' says he

Now here's the bit that puzzled me 'But you can put it in yer car and take it yerself'
Why is it we can take it, but not a company .............?

The quote you have given above, I did not see and that quote suggests they 'should' take it - I will have to get in touch with them again

I don't think they HAVE to Patsy, some will do this and some don't, and it has to be unplugged and defrosted ready for them to load up.
Your local council should oblige though, I don't mean the ordinary bin men, it's a special dept. you have to ring (you should find the number online under your local council offices).
I think it was about a tenner per large item they charged us when we had to clear Mum's house out last year, but that could vary according to local areas.

The council will only collect if goods are left 'outside' can't do that here Mups

Oh I see, Patsy, I think I remember you saying you're in a flat now, so I can see that would be difficult.
Perhaps best you give Marks suggestion a try then. What a palaver. If that don't work I'd try the Age Concern people.
I don't like Curry's, well not our local one anyway, most unhelpful lot of so-and-so's I've met.
