Following a request by an older resident in Halton View ward (see earlier blog) about recyling white goods etc I contacted the council to see whether they provided a free service for people on low incomes, including pensioners.
Retailers of course will usually take your old one for disposal but in some cases this is not possible.
Apparantly the council do not provide a free service although I understand some councils do. However the British Heart Foundation in St Helens will offer a free collection and recycling service for working white appliances and three piece suites which have the normal sefety label attached.
This service is available to anybody who has an item for disposal that's in a reasonable condition.
I've emailed Halton council's Direct Link to suggest that they let people know of this service.
To contact the British Heart Foundation in St Helens phone them on 08444994171
