No wonder people Fly Tip [hmm]

I hate fly tippers.
Where my daughter lives in West Yorkshire their local council provide a couple of skips about 3-4 times a year for locals to fill with bulky and heavy items they could not manage to get to the local tip. Works very well.
We have nothing like that in East Surrey. I have to display a permit on my car to use the recycling centre near me and there are discussions going on about getting people to make an appointment to tip their rubbish. That will only increase fly tipping in my opinion.
Do any of your friends and neighbours have a number of a reliable man who would dispose of your fridge/freezer in the correct way? He may be cheaper than the council's cost.

Got new fridge freezer, managed to put my other one outside my front door.
Went online to book bulky waste collection (normally they will pick up on none recycle days (mine was yesterday so missed it)

The next slot is...... 15th September! I thought that can't be right its over 6 weeks away. So I rang up and yes that is the nearest collection date. It's not in my way but looks unsightly for my neighbours.
