Who loves "Throw-out week"??

Here in Burpengary, north of Brissie, they dont pick up fridges or air conditioners because they say these contain refrigerant gas which is toxic. So how do we get rid of these things??? throw them in the bush???

You could have a pro refridgeration guy de-gas the units.

Dosen't stop people going through it though - it dosen't bother me if they do as long as it is kept tidy

Ditto to above !

The last council cleanup I had people going through my neat pile and just leave the nature strip into a mess. As such I was also dumping an old wooden chest so I dumped everything in there and screwed it down....stopped the feral scavengers

Another time we had 2 high chairs and we left them in our front porch whilst undergoing house renos. Couple walked in and thought they could just take them...wtf??? Gave them a good serving

I must admit though, you do see some useful timber offcuts from time to time that can be used for other projects, so I'm not totally opposed to re-cycling. JUST KEEP IT TIDY!
