An EU environmental reg that

An EU environmental reg that took effect on Jan 1 makes it illegal to toss away ozone-depleting refrigerator/freezer foam, so Britons have taken to dumping their disused fridges in empty fields.

Residents say unsightly dumps of old appliances have sprouted across the land since people began secretly abandoning them in fields after European environmental regulations took effect on Jan. 1, making it illegal to discard the ozone-depleting foam insulation from fridges and freezers.
