Dont know specifically about Villamartin but in most areas there is a municipal tip - also can make arrangements with the rubbish collection to have specific items collected from your house at a cost but probably need to talk to the local Town Hall. Then again subject to how much traffic in the area it is amazing how much of what you consider rubbish is collected by passers by and taken away for "recycling" - manys the time I have put what I think to be totally useless alongside community bins - go back there with something else about 20 minutes later and it is like vultures have descended.

Ask at your town hall, probably the "Vias Públicas" department, what the system is. In my muncipality, depending on your address they will tell you which day of the week and from what time of the day you can just leave it by the bins in the street. But as Smiley says, chances are, if you dump it at any other time, it'll be gone within minutes anyway!

You may even be able to sell it to one of the second hand furniture shops.  New2you in Mar Azul may take it.   You won't get much but it might save you the trouble of shifting it.  The numbers in the freebie papers, if you're still in UK you can access these papers online.  www.rountownnews.com is one that once you register you can read the whole paper.

I don't know if Joanne Ellis is still open in La Zenia, I think she had her van stolen so was finding it difficult to operate.

Most people seem to put it by the bins but I've been told you should ring the ayuntemiento and they send round a van to pick it up.
