Morning, Well i recently bought a Knew fridge and my old ones stuck on the back garden. i was going to get a friend to take it to the tip but i've been told i need someone special to collect it because of gas's in it?
Is this correct or can i take it to tip? Any phone numbers? or advice?

Thank you xx

i think you can get it collected but theres something about taking the door off

If it works give it away. Otherwise you can't just dump it. The council will collect if you ring them but I am not sure about the charges.

£30 charge from the council if you are not renting from them.

It did work but been on back for about five days so now i don't know? Free to good home :thumbsup: any one want it ;)

£30 thats shocking!

so i can't take it to tip ?

I thought the council picked up fridges and freezers for free?

Only if your are a council tenant, the cost is apparently included in the rent.

must have changed! i used to live in non council accommodation and fridges and freezers were free cos of the cfcs... obvioulsy not any more!!!

Q. How do I dispose of my fridge/freezer?

A. Fridges and freezers have to be treated in accordance with European Directives to remove the CfCs contained within both the coolant and the foam insulation. You can have your fridge/freezer collected and disposed of free of charge by ringing the Sheffield Council call-centre on 273 4567 and then pressing 1 to get through to the Veolia (formerly Onyx) call-centre. Veolia will then arrange with you when the unit can be collected and they will ensure that it is disposed of correctly. Alternatively you can take them to one of the Household Waste Recycling Centres
