    Any second hand appliance shop will come and buy it . Far easier than lugging it to the tip yourself and cheaper than getting the council to collect it. Our council does a once a year three non electrical items collection for free. I was having a clear out put three items out the day before within ten minutes they were gone so I put anther three out and they went too....I ended up clearing out loads more than I expected.

    We did this with a property we bought for BTL. The family left everything, leather suite, bed, wardrobe, dishes, cutlery and sadly a load of family photos:(

    Please don't throw them away! Your area probably has a furniture centre which provides second-hand furniture and white goods to people in need. They will collect free of charge. As will several charities.

    If not, offer the goods on Freegle or local Facebook selling page.
    The British Heart Foundation welcome good 2nd hand furniture & electrical goods. I've donated several good but unwanted pieces this way. It's sold in their shops & it's for a great cause.
