Old fridge and TVs?

Gosub

Where can I recycle 2 old TVs, a very old fridge and a chest freezer? Is there a general recycling centre, like in Dublin, where you can bring stuff for recycling?

Cheers.

do the freezers or fridges work?

if they function why not donate them to a charity shop.

Hard to find a charity shop that will accept electrical items, too much risk involved for it to be worth their while. Goods would have to be checked and
certified by an qualified person and that would nullify or, more likely, surpass any potential benefit.

Barts Cancer Charity Shops accept WORKING electric/electronic items, there is a strong demand for fridges and other whitegoods like washingmachines and microwaves.

Depending on where you are in the county they can have a truck round to collect the items, and anything else of resaleable quality you wish to donate.

please note they are not an alternative to dumping stuff tho, so dont think you can donate a bunch of broken crap to save yourself a trip to the Dump.


Disclosure - I have volunteered in the past at these Charity shops - in the Rosslare shop we sometimes ofered a service where if someone who was moving into a house for the first time contacted us we would put together a package for them of furniture and stuff from across the shops at an afordable rate. some of the ladies who volunteer in the shops have a great eye for quality stuff and a real knack for putting together bundles to suit the needs of the customer.

but they need Donations of stuff like this to make the system work

They were all in an old shed when I bought the house. I'd say the fridge would be an antique, if it had a door. The freezer is more rust than metal and the TVs are well past the point where they might work, but I haven't tried.
