Cumbria Trading Standards are warning residents in the South
Lakeland area to be wary of cold callers offering to collect disused white
goods including washing machines and fridges. White goods must be
disposed of in an environmentally safe way. Residents should use the approved
collection service such as the one offered by South Lakeland District Council
(SLDC), who can be contacted on 0845 050 4434. SLDC staff will carry
identification and use a vehicle marked with the “RIGHT 2 WORK” logo.
