How Should I Get My Fridge Ready for Removal?

Before we arrive at your home, there are a couple of simple steps you can take to prepare your fridge for removal:

1. Empty your fridge of all food, drinks, and other items.
2. Unplug it, leaving the door open for a few hours to defrost. Allow ice buildup to melt, and ensure your fridge is clean and dry.
3. Check that your doors, hallways and driveways are clear of obstacles to give our team quick and easy access to remove your fridge.

Can Fridges and Freezers be Recycled?

Yes, certain components and valuable materials inside fridges can be recyclable. We’re committed to compliant and sustainable waste disposal. This means we safely recycle old refrigerators where appropriate.

If you need to have a functioning fridge removed before replacing it with a new appliance, we can take it to a reuse centre where it can be donated.
