That's very interesting if true, but have you got any proof? Otherwise it seems to be an accusation you shouldn't be throwing around. Always a bit suspect to hear something like that from a brand new poster who's only just joined

All joking aside, that's another great flaw in this "charge to take away" thing - if someone dumps stuff near you, do you end up being charged to take it away?
Or is the exponential increase in fly-tipping the obvious answer?
A dead washing machine is no good but if someone dumped a bike I'd probably flog it.

I hate to say this, but dump it in the street (carefully, so as not to obstruct the pavement too badly) and they will pick it up anyway. Especially on a Monday, so don't dump it out before the weekend.
I've just told them about this thread, and they're not happy. They say they haven't done any tattooing yet. They hope to start as soon as they get their licence, probably next Wednesday at the earliest. Their licence application is posted in the window. They seemed to me to be pretty on the ball, not the sort of people who would do unlicensed tattooing 200 yards from a town hall.
They've also opened a small milkshake and ice cream parlour next door, which was giving away delicious samples of banana milkshake.
Just borrow a trolley and wheel it down there. Nobody would bat an eyelid.

Try putting it on Freecycle. People will take broken stuff for repair and resale. They even collect.

Bah, doesn't look like Brixton Reuse Centre is up and running yet. They won the biggest of the three community grants a few months ago. Perhaps the new LBL recycling rules will push more business their way.
I disposed of 12 desktop PCs near the market recently. Huge ones, from the days when system units were as big as wardrobes. Some bloke in a smart new BMW filled his boot with them before I'd even finished dumping them. The remnants were taken by the council that night. I hope they sent them for recycling instead of chucking them in a landfill.
Actually, knowing Lambeth the driver probably sells as much of his haul as he can. I used to know one of the council officers who seizes abandoned vehicles. Anything saleable would be grabbed within hours of the moment when the owner lost his legal possession of it. And the officer could afford to be a motorcycle racer at weekends.

Is it reasonable to expect the council to deal with commercial waste for free? Dumping stuff by the market doesn't work very well if everyone starts doing it.
That said, as far as the washing machine is concerned, I'd try just leaving it on the pavement and I wouldn't be surprised if it had magically disappeared within 24hrs. There are scrap/salvage people that drive around residential streets looking for stuff that people have left out.

The most effective thing to do is to wait until you replace it and then arrange to have the guys who deliver the new one dispose of it. Doesn't cost much and is minimum of hassle.

Last night I had the best pizza I've had outside of Italy. Kudos to The Oregano in Tulse Hill. Not the cheapest pizza delivery locally, but streets ahead of anything else I've tried when it comes to quality.
Trying putting it outside with a sign on saying "washing machine for sale £5 - drop money through letterbox" or similar - people will think they've got a bargain!

will try. thanks.
We had pizza from there last night as well. It's quite nice but nothing on Italian pizza.
I liked it
Not the cheapest and a bit too light on toppings but the base was lovely
