You may laugh but my next door neighbour did that to two of his!

The guy is a complete moron.

Oh, as said above, the council will come and pick it up for you. Probably cost you a tenner.

But at least he is saving the environment by not leaving it to rot for millions of years in a landfill

BTW our local council will take 3 bulky uplifts away per year for free, so it'd be an idea to give them a phone

Unfortunately he's not because the remnants, wood and springs, are now rotting/rusting away in his garden.

If it has the fire resistant tag on the back you can give away to a charity. We gave an old one away to the YMCA. They came and picked it up free of charge, but it has to have the tag still attached.

Depending on how 'had it', FreeCycle is always worth a message.

I was gonna skip my old one just before Christmas. I put it on ebay for £1 stating collection only. Did not care if I only got a £1 as at least I would get rid of it. Bids upto £138 and they collected it within 2 days! If its totally shagged though......

With the council collections - given you are limited on the number per year (or you are round our way) it can be a good time to pile up some other stuff you've been meaning to get rid of so as not to call them out several times and have them say no!

The people delivering usually charge about £30 to take the old one away, they were gonna do this last month when my parents had a new one delivered, I just asked a Polish friend if he knew anyone who wanted it. 5 minutes later we had someone come round and take it away

The last two we disposed of we gave to my ginger Stepson so that he could address some of his 'anger issues'

The any remains that couldn't be burned (via several friends with proper fires) went to the tip in a bin bag
