Free Disposal ? Yes, to the void deck you go..

An established furniture shop is offering free disposal service if one purchases furniture, appliances etc from them.

The words "Free Disposal" caught my attention. Not because it's free. Rather, I was curious about how They dispose off customer's old item. Sell it to the rag and bone man? Salvage the parts that are functional? And perhaps sell them off? But I reckon that the monetary returns that They would receive is probably not enough to cover the effort needed for the 'disposal'.

Or are They giving the functional items to charitable organisations? Or simply move them to a nearby neighbourhood rubbish dump?

I figured that the neatest way would be to bring them to the nearest rubbish dump.

I was wrong. I bought a Panasonic refrigerator from one of their outlets last week. True enough, disposal was free. However, my old refrigerator did not leave my block of flats. It was at the void deck. With the power cord stretched across the walkway. Lying beside it, carton boxes of my new Panasonic refrigerator.

Is this the approved way to dispose off old items? I would be surprised if the town council permits the void deck to be used as a temporary dumping ground.
