Unfortunately, with immediate effect, we are unable to remove Fridge’s or Freezers as part of the bulky collection service.
This is due to a significant reduction in available treatment and processing capacity across the Country and is affecting Local Authorities nationwide.
Residents in Worcestershire will no longer be able to dispose of fridges, freezers, or other cooling appliances to the Household Recycling Centres.
Alternative options for disposing of these items are:
- Give away or sell appliances that are still in good working order
- Find a company or person who could repair your item.
- Use retailer take-back schemes when purchasing a replacement appliance.
- Safely store appliance at home until the suspension is lifted.
- This is a national issue so other licensed waste carriers may be experiencing the same problem. Please check where they will be taking your item to if you use one.
- Do not use any unlicensed operators as they may illegally dump waste, and residents can be held responsible if their waste is found illegally disposed of.
