    What you need is a weee bin. 
    Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. There’s a skip size one at the recycling centre. But I’m reusing it myself for now.

    I've noticed shopping trolleys at large supermarkets with, shall we say, 'unusual items' left in them, unattended. Presumably people with a similar problem to you who have found an easy way to dispose of their unwanted stuff. In my part of Essex the newspapers are always reporting flytipping. 

    We usually have a monthly weekend rubbish collection facility which takes pretty much anything. The council park a rubbish van or two in a predetermined location and you can take your stuff there and deposit it. Unfortunately it's suspended at the moment.
    We're rural and fly tipping is very real round here. Too many small lanes with hardly any traffic and too many convenient field entrances. You regularly see whole van loads of rubbish tipped but also smaller piles of stuff which I suspect come from cars as a result of the council site now being more fussy, now closing on one day per week and introducing a new booking system - no booking, no entry. If you make it harder for people to get rid of stuff properly some those people will choose an easier option. 
    Same, I've reported the same single mattress left on a pathway in Nailsworth to SDC twice now and no response. I work at Woodchester Mansion and I see a lot of fly tipping on my way into work every morning. Never caught anyone doing it though. I'll have to book a tip slot at Horsley to get rid of the Mansion's old credit card machines as it seems no-one can make use of them.
