Fridges and freezers

Most empty fridges and freezers (including non-commercial glass fronted fridges) are accepted at recycling centres. However, commercial glass fronted fridges, all glass topped fridges and fridges missing their motors are not accepted.

If your fridge or freezer is still in good working order, you could donate it to a furniture reuse group such as the Furniture Re-use Network or Freecycle.

Alternatively, you could use a retailer take back scheme if you are purchasing a new fridge/freezer, or contact your district council who can offer a chargeable bulky waste collection. 

If you are hiring a van to transport your own household waste to a recycling centre, you must arrange temporary access.
