Fridge Removal Across the North East
Licensed fridge removal across NE, SR, DH and TS postcodes. WEEE compliant, refrigerant gas handled correctly, same day available. From £50. Call 07868 666337.
Why Fridge Disposal Needs a Licensed Waste Carrier
Fridge disposal is more regulated than most people realise. Here is why licensed collection matters.
Fridges Contain Hazardous Refrigerant Gases
Every fridge contains HFC or CFC refrigerant gases that are illegal to release into the atmosphere. Our licensed WEEE facilities extract gases correctly before recycling. Fully F-Gas compliant.
You Can Be Fined for Improper Fridge Disposal
Under WEEE Regulations, improper fridge disposal can result in fines up to £5,000. WMS NE is Environment Agency licensed under CBDU 486667 — your disposal is fully documented.
Retailers Do Not Always Collect Your Old Fridge
Retailer takeback costs £25 to £50 and requires advance booking. WMS NE collects your old fridge at short notice, same day or next day, anywhere in the North East.
Fridges Are Too Heavy to Transport Safely
A standard fridge weighs 60 to 90 kg. American-style models exceed 130 kg. Our team uses correct equipment and loading procedures, protecting your property throughout.
Same Day Collection Across the North East
Our South Shields depot gives fast response times across all NE, SR, DH and TS postcodes. Same day fridge removal is available most days — call before midday.
Up to 95% of Your Fridge Is Recyclable
Steel, aluminium, copper, plastics and glass are all separated and recycled at licensed WEEE authorised treatment facilities. Refrigerants are safely recovered and destroyed.
Refrigerant Gas Compliance — Why It Matters for Your Old Fridge
Every fridge contains refrigerant gases — HFCs in modern appliances, CFCs in older models. UK law under the F-Gas Regulations makes it illegal to vent these into the atmosphere.
A single fridge freezer can release the equivalent of 1.5 tonnes of CO2 if gases are not correctly extracted. This is why skip hire companies and some tips refuse fridges.
WMS NE delivers every fridge to a licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) where F-Gas certified technicians extract and destroy the refrigerant. Fridge disposal compliance is handled for you at no extra charge.
