The rule that catches people
Anything without refrigerant goes in a standard container.
Worth knowing. Fridges, freezers and air conditioners are the exception and need the refrigerant recovered first.
The cheaper route, if you have one
Scrap collectors will often take working or near-working white goods free.
Getting it ready
Anything containing refrigerant needs the gas recovered by someone certified before it is scrapped, which covers fridges, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Everything else is straightforward scrap metal. Because they are mostly steel, appliances are worth something at a scrap yard, so a load of them may be better off going there than into a container you are paying for by the ton.
If this is one item among many, the thing to watch is the weight allowance rather than the space. How overage is billed. See what else fits in a 10 yard.
