Proper disposal of electrical appliances and white goods is a vital part of any house clearance. These items often contain materials that need careful handling to avoid environmental harm and comply with UK regulations.
What We Accept in Our Household Waste Removal Service
At Safe:Environment, our Household Waste Removal service covers a wide range of non-hazardous waste typically found during house clearances. This includes furniture, white goods (excluding fridges), bagged general waste, garden waste, paint tins, wood, metal, plastics, and more. We specialise in removing bulky household items safely and responsibly.
Handling White Goods and Electrical Appliances
While we accept most white goods such as washing machines, ovens, and microwaves, it’s important to note that fridges and freezers are excluded from our general household waste service. This is because fridges contain refrigerants that require specialist handling under environmental regulations. For fridge disposal, you should use a licensed hazardous waste removal service.
Other electrical appliances and white goods collected through our service are taken to licensed waste transfer stations or recycling facilities, where materials are processed following UK waste disposal laws, ensuring compliance and environmental responsibility.
Why Choose Safe:Environment for Your House Clearance?
Our trained team is experienced in handling heavy and bulky items during house clearances. We offer flexible scheduling and efficient collection to suit your needs. By choosing Safe:Environment, you can be confident your general household waste and accepted electrical items will be removed legally and sustainably.
We provide Waste Transfer Notes with every collection, offering full transparency and proof of responsible waste management.
What You Should Do with Fridges and Freezers
Since fridges and freezers are excluded from our household waste removal due to their hazardous components, we recommend contacting a specialist hazardous waste carrier for their removal. Many local councils also offer dedicated bulky waste collections for these items, or you can arrange separate specialist disposal through licensed companies.
