October 30th – The flytipped fridge problem continues. Recently, the law changed and scrap yards can’t accept old chiller appliances, which must now go for specialist recycling. Sadly, people are still leaving them out for scrap men, who strip the easiest to separate metal parts, and flytip the rest. Dumped fridges and freezers are currently a huge issue for local authorities all over the country.
When you leave stuff out for the tat men, you are encouraging this scumbag behaviour – please don’t do it.
These are in Green Lane, Walsall Wood, just past the houses beyond the Black Cock pub, just pushed off the back of a vehicle into a lay-by.
This is what happens if you fiddle with waste disposal legislation without thinking through the consequences.
