For a brief moment I thought that this thread was going to be about many of the cars that clog our roadways.

Isn’t there something about the vendor of a new washing machine – cooker – fridge and the like having to take away the old one for disposal?

Yonks ago we had someone come round shouting “any old iron” and he would pile your old thingy on his cart and give you something in return.

So these guys are just the modern equivalent.

The only problem is what do they do with the bits that cannot be sold on as scrap? Dumped in a remote country lane perhaps?

The local authority will remove such items for no charge or knowing local authorities they probably make a charge these days. Or there are rules like you can have items removed free of charge three times in a year and after that you pay.
