Council or private?
At £44.35 for one fridge or £50.70 as the starting price, Stoke's council collection costs more than most of the councils we cover, and it's kerbside only. A private collection is often similar or cheaper for one or two items, and will usually carry them out from inside. See single item removal, or house clearance for a bigger job.
