Whale Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Anyone know this? If you have some big things to dispose of like a washing machine in Bangkok, how do you do it? Is there an official dump or a collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KhunLA Posted May 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2022 Simply ride around till you find a 'repair shop' of like machines, and let them know they can have for free. Problem solved. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFETY FIRST Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Advertise it on Craigslist or Bahtsold. Identify the issue and low price it, say 100 baht. Someone will come pick it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee4Life Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I have been leaving old appliance out by the garbage cans on the street, by the time I make it back to my front door they are gone. I did take one to the local recycling yard, where they buy scrap metal, plastic & bottles, I got 20 baht. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Not sure in Bangkok but there are these pickup trucks they drive through the neighborhood with a loud speaker basically for large items in Thailand " old " for a old Frigerator you could get easily 500 baht from them. I too leave stuff at the garbage bin gone in minutes but big stuff you can get good baht my last haul pickup 2000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger70 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Just put it outside your place on the footpath, It will be gone in a few hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrogaz Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Go to a repair shop and ask them to take it in to their workshop. Ours will come out and pick it up. When they tell you it will cost way more than you paid for the new one to fix it, just leave it there. They will dispose of it after a while, and strangely they don't get angry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LukKrueng Posted May 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) There used to be a temple in BKK where they were teaching youngsters to repair appliances. I called them when had things like that and they'd come and take it. I'll try to look for the name and contact number.

Adumbration Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 If you have a truck, Thai recycling depot will buy it off you based on its weight. If you don't have a truck, keep an eye out for people going around on sidecar collecting bottles plastic and the like (they on sell to the above mention recycling depots). You can sell, or give it to them. Were in Grunthep are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i returned to the room i noticed the glass plate that rotates on the table (mrs had taken it out). Thought to myself i'll bring that down just in case someone wants to take and use the microwave. It was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
