It's free to take your own domestic waste to the local council run site but commercial waste (which includes paying someone to take away your old fridge) has to pay for disposal.
Doesn't really matter how much the actual disposal cost is there is always room to undercut the people doing it properly by flytipping.

OK. Domestic waste is free here too. Maybe the labour market plays a part too then. Our hourly wages for craftsmen are quite high, so £40 on top of the price is less than an hours wage.

London has some of the worst fly-tipping in the UK. Most authorities turn a blind eye to grey areas that lie between boroughs as they don't want to be responsible and are bad at cooperating with one another.
Hopefully, the GLA will continue to work on it... it's also a problem when it comes to roads/infrastructure.

I rarely if ever see any flytipping in Denmark, but see it mentioned frequently on here. Does it happen due to lack of recycling stations or price or something else?
In Copenhagen we paid around £40 for an hours access. A recycling station was never more than 5(?) km away and a few were open 24/7.
