‘In Oxfordshire, recycling centres are filling almost three articulated lorries with discarded fridges every week,” says Simon Perry of W&S Waste Management, which runs a recycling centre in Ardley.(“在牛津郡，回收中心每周收集的废弃冰箱几乎能装满三辆铰接式卡车，”W&S废物管理公司的西蒙·佩里说道。该公司在阿德利运营着一家回收中心。)

Together, those fridges would cover an area just under half the size of a football pitch(足球场). But the space to store them – in Oxfordshire and beyond – has become a growing problem after the Local Government Association (LGA) warned that a mountain of broken fridges was rising in waste centres across England and Wales, as this year’s heatwaves push more white goods to breaking point, and a trend for second/backup refrigeration products keeps growing.(但在牛津郡及其他地区，储存它们的空间已成为一个日益严重的问题。此前，英国地方政府协会（LGA）警告称，随着今年的热浪将更多白色家电推向崩溃边缘，以及备用制冷产品的趋势持续增长，英格兰和威尔士各地废物处理中心的破旧冰箱正堆积如山。)
这些冰箱加起来，占地面积略小于半个足球场。但在牛津郡及其他地区，储存它们的空间已成为一个日益严重的问题。此前，英国地方政府协会（LGA）警告称，随着今年的热浪将更多白色家电推向崩溃边缘，以及备用制冷产品的趋势持续增长，英格兰和威尔士各地废物处理中心的破旧冰箱正堆积如山。
Councils say there are now not enough facilities to recycle fridges after a major centre at Newport Docks went into liquidation last year, leaving more than 80,000 fridges and freezers stranded, overwhelming local storage capacity.(地方议会表示，去年纽波特码头的一家大型回收中心破产后，冰箱回收设施已严重不足，导致超过8万台冰箱和冰柜滞留，当地储存能力不堪重负。) Two other centres have shut in recent years.
