Why Fridge Freezer Disposal Needs a Licensed Carrier
Fridge freezers carry extra regulatory requirements — here is why licensed disposal matters.
Fridge Freezers Contain Regulated Refrigerant Gases
Every fridge freezer contains HFC refrigerant gases that are illegal to vent into the atmosphere. F-Gas certified technicians must extract them before recycling. WMS NE routes every unit through a licensed WEEE ATF.
American Fridge Freezers Are Extremely Heavy
An American-style fridge freezer weighs over 130 kg and cannot safely be moved by one person. Our two-person team uses professional lifting equipment, protecting your floors and kitchen units throughout.
Skip Hire Companies Refuse Fridge Freezers
Most North East skip hire companies do not accept fridge freezers because of the refrigerant gas requirement. WMS NE is specifically licensed for fridge freezer disposal through WEEE authorised treatment facilities.
Retailer Takeback Is Not Always Available
Appliance retailer collection costs £20 to £50 and requires advance booking at time of purchase. WMS NE collects your old fridge freezer same day or next day, no conditions, across all North East postcodes.
Up to 95% of a Fridge Freezer Is Recyclable
Steel casing, aluminium, copper, plastics, and glass are all recovered. Refrigerant gases are extracted and either reclaimed for reuse or destroyed. Polyurethane foam is handled to avoid POPs release.
Fines of Up to £5,000 for Improper Disposal
Under WEEE Regulations, improper fridge freezer disposal can result in fines of up to £5,000. WMS NE is EA registered under CBDU 486667. Waste transfer notes provided on request.
Since 1 January 2023, UK law requires upholstered sofas to be incinerated, not sent to landfill. Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic flame retardants found in sofa foam that break down slowly and enter food chains.
This affects council tips, skip hire companies, and charity collections. Some now refuse sofas with damaged upholstery or missing fire labels. WMS NE routes every sofa through a licensed transfer station equipped for POPs-compliant incineration.
