Domestic Fridge Freezer Recycling Service

HazExperts provides a domestic fridge and freezer collection and recycling service for customers who need their old unit removed and processed correctly. Fridges and freezers contain environmentally harmful refrigerant gases, such as CFC or HFC gases, which is why they must be handled and treated in the correct manner.

Why Choose HazExperts For Your Domestic Fridge & Freezer Collection?

HazExperts pride themselves on a high level of customer service and compliant hazardous waste handling. All of the waste we collect is recorded digitally from when it is collected through to when it is disposed of at our disposal sites.

As soon as the waste is collected, customers receive a notification email, and another notification is sent once it has been disposed of. This complies with our legal duty of care as a responsible waste management company and also reassures our customers that their waste will be collected and treated in a compliant and environmentally friendly manner.

We offer a free text service alerting our customers that a vehicle is on its way to collect, adding to the personal service experience.

Why There Is A Charge For This Service

A common question we get asked - the truth is, we would love it to be free - however we cannot dispose of your fridges in the correct manner without incurring a charge.

Fridges and freezers contain gases that make the waste hazardous. These gases need to be treated correctly from both a legislative and environmentally friendly perspective.

What Happens To My Fridge Or Freezer?

The compressors from the units are removed and any valuable materials, such as aluminium and copper, are separated along with any remaining harmful refrigerant gases.

The main fridge carcass is then loaded onto a conveyor belt and passed through a vacuum chamber to ensure there are no remaining refrigerant gases before it is finally shredded. The shredded material does not have a great deal of recycling potential and can quite often be recycled into products such as plant pots.

Choose HazExperts and be assured that your fridge or freezer is being collected and processed by a licensed waste carrier.
