Get the neighbours to remove it for you and take it down to the tip for you. Legally it's yours to do with as you please. Roll it into the garden and leave it there.Supertrouper wrote: »my washing machine, which is still under guarantee, had to have a new drum casing because it was leaking. however the old part has been left at my home by Hoover/Candy repairman. it's huge very heavy and I have no way of getting rid of it. According to Candy:
"I can confirm that it is standard practice for the engineer to leave the old drum when a new one has been replaced, as these are classed as your property".
I wouldn't have a problem if it was the drum, I could just leave it outside and someone would take it, but this is a huge piece of heavy plastic, which I cant lift!
I've written to the head office but just wondered where I stand legally:footie:

^ this!
Our local tradesmen have to have a disposal licence, then pay each time they take something to the tip.
I used a tradesman who didn't have one as it would put the price of his job quotes up. He makes it clear you have to dispose of your own waste.
Households can get 12 permits a year for waste disposal.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

Are you asking if there is any way you can legally force them to remove this for you?
I suspect there is nothing in law that would enforce this.Herman - MP for all!

Legally, it's your property, it's always been your property and unless you specifically transferred ownership (by asking the tradesman if he could dispose of it) then it will remain your property.
Even the tradesman might have asked for a small charge to dispose of it to covers his waste license and any commercial fee at the tip.0 -
Do you have a friend who could help with lifting?0

Legally, it's yours. They brought you a new drum for free. The old one was not theirs to take.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
