Not really sure what the word is of what I'm looking for but...

I'm after chest freezer. It doesn't need to be working as I only need the shell.

I was thinking that I may be able to go to a recycling site and ask the staff there or something like that? I'm not sure if this is really a thing but I've definitely heard of people finding things that people have thrown away etc.

Do I just need to drive around my city looking for fly tipping/skips?

My parents got a fridge freezer via Facebook, from a house that was moving and didn't want to transport it. Might be worth looking at local marketplace groups.

My local recycling centre has a resale and reuse area, I think a lot of local councils have something like that set up.
