What to do With Your Old Fridge?

Fridge-freezers use the most energy of all household appliances and contain many hazardous chemical and gases, which have the potential to harm humans, animals and the environment. This means that old and possibly damaged fridges need to be disposed of sensibly- not by fly-tipping it into the nearest lay-by.

If you’re buying a new fridge, you could find out if the company will buy your old fridge from you and collect it after delivering your new model; a very convenient solution.

An eco-friendly alternative would be to take it to a household recycling centre, which is likely to be located near or at your local dump.

Many modern fridges are too big to easily transport in a car – and there is always the danger of dangerous chemical spillages damaging you and your car’s interior – so getting a skip company out to take care of it may be one of the better solutions.
