Hertfordshire County Council will despose of white and brown goods
free at local waste sites. I would rather pay slightly more tax than
live in an area where every street is littered with burnt out cars and
battered fridges. I would also prefer that the UKs remaining green
spaces are preserved at least as farm land instead of being dug up to
refill with reuseable materials and remaining toxic for decades
later...
