There are also a few "small electricals" bins around that take items

Some councils will collect small electricals left out on the kerbside

AKA Gypsies.

I used to see a flat bed truck with a kind of open top cage on the back
going around ringing a bell in the manner of, "Bring out your dead!" I
assume it was for dead appliances and other stuff with scrap value
rather than corpses.

Still got one here. He shouts "Any old scrap metal?" And occasionally "Washing machines, microwaves, dishwashers, ...." sounding more like he's selling them than collecting them. I spotted his van while I was out and told him I had a huge chest freezer. He collected it for free. I couldn't be bothered heaving it into the back of my car to take to the skip.
