Washing Machine disposal!

Have a washing machine that needs fixing.  It was about six months old and I only bought it about 2 years ago. Does anyone know of a person with a van that I can pay to remove it and dispose of it?All suggestions welcome....I need it done quite quickly!!Thanks

I would love to do that Pete, but it is a washing machine and a fridge.  I could get into trouble for doing that.  Also, not so pleasant for neighbours.

The council are a waste of space!  I have called them on two separate occasions (once I was clearing out my garage) and they never bothered to call back.

I left mine just sticking out of the front gate and it was gone in less than a day...

The council can collect and dispose of it for you. http://www.ealing.gov.uk/info/200969/refuse_services/264/bulky_items_collection

Thanks Angela, but I have just found out that the repair would cost more than the machine is worth....so I have to bin it.  I also have a broken fridge.....so, its back to man and van!!

I would seriously put it on Freecycle.  Someone might want it as a project if it is fixable.  If it is only less than 3 years old it would probably go quite quickly.
