    fumken: Recommend do what I did and leave the metal rubbish (including the fridge) somewhere visible from the road. The chances are that a passing "scrap metal dealer" will spot it and take it off your hands.

    Having got rid of a load of rubbish this way, I have kept my eyes open and there appears to be numerous "scrap metal" types who cruise around our streets looking for any unwanted metal, so I guess that your area should be no different to mine.

    If nothing happens after a couple of weeks, then resort back to Plan A. If they take just some of the rubbish, then thats less (and therefore cheaper) to get rid of.

    Our "scrap metal dealers" may take other rubbish as well for a small fee, but expect it to be dumped in deanos country lane so make sure there is no way they can identify you from the rubbish (or use someone who is registered with the environmental agency who no doubt will be more expensive!).

    Best of luck!
