I phoned the council to remove an old washing machine & was told the same - so I left it outside the locked back gate rather than in my yard unlocked. It was removed just after a week.
But then on the 14th day the council phoned me at work to say that they had been to collect it & the gate was locked. I explained that I had left it outside the gate and it had already been removed - she concluded that another department must've already been for it.
So the rubbish will be removed quicker if you fly tip than to go through the correct procedures - but there was absolutely no way I was leaving my gate open for 2 weeks.
(PS - not condoning fly tipping - I left it outside my own gate - if anyone was gonna get fined, it would've been me.)
