Our Fridge and Freezer Recycling Process
Collection
We provide convenient, flexible collection slots, handling all the logistics for a hassle-free pick-up. Our team ensures safe and efficient removal of your fridges and freezers, whether they’re domestic, commercial, ammonia-based or ultra-low temperature freezers.
Transport
Your fridges and freezers are securely transported to our treatment facility using our licensed fleet of vehicles, ensuring that each unit is handled with care and delivered in compliance with all safety standards.
Hazardous Waste Consignment Note
As fridges and freezers often contain hazardous substances like refrigerants, we provide each customer with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note. This document details the type and quantity of waste being transported and confirms that it has been handled and disposed of in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Recycling, Reuse & Processing
At our facility, our expert team carefully assesses each unit to determine if it can be reused. Factors like general condition and age of the unit are considered. If suitable for reuse, the fridges and freezers are repaired, refurbished and tested to the highest safety and performance standards before being sold or donated for a second life. For units that cannot be reused, our partners will safely extract harmful gases and oils, then dismantle and recycle the remaining components, such as metals and plastics.
