Fridge removal (do the council do it?)

Does anyone know whether the council offer a fridge disposal service? I moved to ED back in June 07 and ever since then have had a old fridge (or freezer, I've never been keen enough to check) sitting in the front garden. Landlord at the time promised to have it taken away but after lots of emails still hasn't done it so I'm taking it into my own hands...


They're so hard to get rid of properly and I know other councils around the country offer a disposal service - if anyone out there knows what I can do please let me know!


Thanks

Hi

contact Southwark Council 0207525000 for collection of any large bulk waste, including fridges, and it's FREE, they give you a time they'll collect and if you are disabled or elderly they will arrange to carry it down stairs.....we are lucky in Southwark,other Councils charge, Bromley in particular send someone round to do an estimate first!! and you have to pay the invoice before they'll collect!! We all complain sometimes about Southwark but this service is Gold Standard!!!!!

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
