You could try your local Refuse site, some keep things to one side that may be passed on, have seen things like golf clubs and bikes on the side, and as that would be were most people dispose of old items, you never know.

Proved this one yesterday on a late-afternoon tip visit. A rather sad collection of battered LPS (what's most likely to be seen) - but also a rather random cache of 78s. Among them were some UK 1930s of sizes 7"/8"/slightly larger (The Victory, Eclipse, Crown, Broadcast) including a an 8" disc housed in one of the most fetching 78 shop sleeves I've came across.

Lucky to have seen them before dampness really got to them - a steel container in humid conditions a few degrees above freezing is NOT ideal for conservation.
