We understand the importance of adhering to UK regulations when it comes to the disposal and recycling of fridges and freezers. As part of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, businesses are required to ensure that all electrical appliances are disposed of responsibly and in compliance with strict environmental guidelines.
Our services are fully compliant with the WEEE Regulations 2013, which set out the requirements for the disposal of electrical goods. This includes the safe removal of harmful substances such as refrigerants and foam insulation. This legislation ensures that all fridges and freezers are recycled in an environmentally-friendly way, protecting both the environment and public health.
Pricing depends on the type and quantity of appliances, access to the site, and location. For an accurate quote, please provide full details including photos if possible.
Refrigerator recycling prevents hazardous substances like refrigerant gases and insulation foam from damaging the environment. It also allows for the recovery of valuable materials such as metals and plastics, reducing the demand for virgin resources.
Most fridges and freezers are made of a combination of steel, aluminium, plastic, foam insulation, copper tubing, and refrigerant chemicals. Each of these materials must be separated and treated properly during the recycling process.
Commercial fridges and freezers typically last between 10 to 20 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and the environment they’re kept in. When they reach end-of-life, proper recycling is essential to handle harmful materials responsibly.
Fridges and freezers are classed as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). They are considered hazardous waste due to components like refrigerants and must be handled and processed by licensed facilities.
No, you cannot put a fridge or freezer in a skip. Fridges and freezers are classed as hazardous WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) because they contain refrigerant gases and other materials that can be harmful to the environment if not handled correctly. UK law requires that they are disposed of through an authorised service.
