In 1977 I brought my fridge. Its now knackered. Doesnt cool and needs to be
replaced. So I replaced it. Council officer told me I should not have
replaced it - I am an ecologically unfriendly person for getting rid of an
old appliance!

I thought old fridges were inefficient, so it would be environmentally
unfriendly to keep it in use even if repaired. Fridges that run but don't
cool usually do so because they have leaked some or all of the coolant gas
already.

BTW I have 3 half-full cans of foam filler, with the nozzles bunged up. I
asked my council if they have a hazardous waste facility for these, they
said to chuck in the wheelie bin. Does this sound wise?.

Egremont.



It would be an expensive, although amusing wheeze to put a load of
these or a large one into a wheelie bin in the hope that the crusher
would pierce them, thus leading to a huge expansion of said stuff in
their wagon that they then have to deal with.
