Small Kitchen Electricals
Kettles, toasters, blenders, coffee machines, air fryers and anything else with a plug on it.
Fridges And Freezers Are Treated Differently
Anything with a cooling circuit holds refrigerant gases, and the insulating foam inside the walls holds blowing agents too. Both have to be recovered at a permitted treatment facility before the unit is shredded, which is why a fridge cannot simply go in with general waste.
We collect the unit whole and hand it over intact for that treatment. We do not degas anything ourselves and we would not try to. Please leave the pipework and compressor alone, and be wary of anyone offering to take a fridge off your hands for scrap. Venting those gases is an offence, and the appliance stays your responsibility until it reaches somebody who handles it properly.
How WEEE Disposal Works
Waste electricals are regulated separately from everything else we collect, and for good reason.
Kept Apart On The Van
Appliances are loaded separately from furniture and general waste rather than crushed in with everything else.
Permitted Treatment
Everything goes to a facility permitted to handle waste electricals, where the hazardous parts come out first.
Materials Recovered
Steel, copper, aluminium and plastics are separated and sold back into manufacturing.
Or Ask Your Retailer
Buying a replacement? Retailers are obliged to help you dispose of the old one. If that is easier and cheaper, take it.
Before We Arrive
None of this is complicated, but a defrosted freezer and a disconnected machine turn a fiddly job into a five minute one. We handle the pulling out and the carrying.
- Defrost freezers the night before so they are not full of water
- Empty the contents, including the salad drawers and door shelves
- Disconnect the plug, or have a plumber cap any water feed first
- Leave hardwired cookers to a qualified electrician before we come
- Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift
Appliance Disposal Questions
Do you take fridges and freezers?
Yes. They are collected whole and handed over to a facility permitted to recover the refrigerant gases and foam before the unit is shredded. We do not degas anything ourselves, and nobody collecting a fridge in a van should be.
Will you disconnect the appliance?
We will unplug a machine and pull it out from under the worktop. What we will not do is touch gas connections or hardwired electrics, or cut into plumbing. Have a qualified plumber or electrician isolate those first and we will do the rest.
Does the appliance need to be working?
No. Broken, leaking and long dead appliances are collected just the same. It makes no difference to the price, since either way it is going for material recovery rather than resale.
Can you take an appliance from a flat with no lift?
Yes. Fridge freezers and washing machines are heavy and awkward rather than impossible. Tell us the floor when you book so the right number of people turn up.
Is it cheaper to use my retailer?
It can be. When you buy a replacement, retailers are obliged to help you dispose of the old appliance, and some collect it when they deliver. If that suits you, use it. We are the better option when there is no replacement coming, the timing does not line up, or you have several appliances to clear at once.
