What white goods disposal means
White goods disposal is the licensed collection and recycling of large household appliances — fridges, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, tumble dryers and cookers — which are classed as WEEE and cannot legally go into general waste.
Fridges and freezers are the one appliance most people get stuck with. They contain refrigerant gases and insulating foam that must be extracted at a permitted facility, which is why kerbside crews will not take them and why they are the item most often dumped on Kent lanes.
We collect from wherever the appliance is standing — kitchen, garage, first-floor flat — disconnect it if it is already isolated, and take it to a WEEE-permitted treatment site. Working appliances are tested and passed to reuse partners instead wherever the condition allows.

WEEE and refrigerant gas rules
Fridges and freezers are hazardous WEEE because of the refrigerants in the circuit and the blowing agents in the foam. They must be degassed at a permitted facility under the WEEE Regulations 2013 and F-gas rules before the shell is recycled. We consign every unit to a licensed WEEE treatment site and can supply the site name on request — which matters if you are a landlord or business evidencing compliance.
