"White goods" covers large household appliances like fridges, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, tumble dryers and cookers. They can't simply be left on the kerb or thrown in a general skip β€” most contain refrigerants, oils and materials that must be processed under WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations.

Fridges & Freezers

Contain ozone-depleting gases that must be recovered by specialists.

Washers & Dryers

Heavy and awkward β€” professional lifting avoids injury and damage.

Cookers & Ovens

Require safe gas/electric disconnection before removal.
