    The prices sound insulting but people are stupid enough to go for it.

    Or if that doesn't work, your local dump would probably have an electrical recycling point you can dump your old stuff.
    local councils usually have a collection service for bulky items not permitted in bins, they might charge £10 or so but if you havent got a car it could be very useful
    Who remembers when X Factor was just Roman suncream?

    In true MSE style (though a bit naughty), it could always be given to someone you know, who is on benefits, free of charge.
    In many areas, people on benefits have bulky items removed free of charge.
    Of course, I wouldn't suggest that you give it to the person on benefits with the intention of them getting the council to take it away. After all, that might be seen as fraudulent :D .
    Many thanks to my friend around the corner (on benefits) who received my old fridge and really tried to fix it to keep it for himself. Pity he couldn't manage it but that might be because he knows nothing about fridges :) .

    What are they going to do with this stuff?
    I can't see Tesco selling second hand electricals.
  • Sell it on for scrap value or to a reconditioner in another country probably. I expect they have containers of goods coming in direct from the east so these probably form a handy backload.
