Hi,
Yesterday the landlord changed the boiler.
The plumbers left the old discarded boiler on the sidewalk in front of the house.

That garbage cannot be left there...
Please, I am confused, what am I supposed to do?

Thanks for your suggestion

    It will probably walk before you need to do anything.

    Perhaps the plumbers had arranged for it to be collected by a scrap metal merchant?

    Invite the local scrappies to come round and collect it then.

    Or ask somebody who does have a car to pick it up.

    Or see if the council will uplift (some do so for free).

    Or speak to your landlord about it.

    OP don't worry it will be collected by a man in a white van

    Have a look for scrap metal collectors on google - someone will have it.
