Morning all :hello:

Woken up by the bin men emptying our green bin this morning.
New dishwasher installed and working well.:okay:
Off to take the old one to Ilfracombe tip this morning.
Curry's wanted around £50 to install the new one (5 minute job) and remove the old one (basically free - just diesel cost of tip run).
We get charged for taking white goods to the tip so I've been happy to let Currys take stuff away.

Plus it's difficult lifting large stuff over the deep lip on my car boot.

Same here. We just bought our daughter and SiL a freezer and I happily paid Currys 50 quid to take the old one away.
Good value as it turns out as they had to take a door off then replace it.

Herts CC don’t charge for white goods disposal at the dump . But I would still have the problem of loading and unloading a washing machine or a large upright freezer into a small estate car . So to avoid damaging my back or the car , I happily pay for disposal.
[EDIT] I’m sure ao only charged £25 for taking our old washing machine, that was a year ago .

Our local council will come and collect bulky goods for disposal for a fee. It's currently £31, and £6 for each additional item. A 3 Piece suite would cost £43. It came in handy when our built in fridge / freezer went on the blink. We ordered separate free standing larder fridge and Larder freezer and when I'd installed them and transferred the contents from the old unit I was able to remove the old unit and leave it outside for the Council to collect on the appointed day.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
