Different parts of Alum Rock present different removal logisticstics. In Shard End, terraced properties with narrow rear accesses mean the team plans vehicle positioning and route access carefully; washing machine and dryer pickups here are routine weekly calls. Erdington postcodes often contain larger Victorian semis where kitchen remodelling jobs can involve removing an old range cooker, large built-in fridge, and dishwasher in one visit—demanding a crew and proper floor protection. Stockland Green sees frequent requests from bungalows and smaller properties where a single freezer or tumble dryer removal is often the job. Across all neighbourhoods, the principle stays the same: the removal crew arrives with the right equipment (trolleys, ramps, blankets) to extract appliances safely without damaging doorways, hallways, or flooring, and they take responsibility for the waste from collection to licensed recycling.

How Appliance Removal Works in Alum Rock
- Book your collectionCall or message with the appliance type, location within Alum Rock, and your preferred date. Same-day appliance removal is available subject to local availability and scheduling.
- Confirm the ETAThe team will confirm a time window the day before or on the morning of collection, accounting for Alum Rock traffic and any access constraints (e.g., restricted parking on your road).
- On-site inspection and removalThe crew assesses the appliance in situ, tests for any hazards (e.g. gas pipework on a cooker), and uses appropriate techniques to extract it without damage to your home or injury to themselves.
- Safe loading and transportAppliances are secured on the vehicle and transported directly to an approved authorised treatment facility (AATF) or Material Recovery Facility (MRF) licensed to handle white goods and domestic appliances.
- Payment and documentationYou receive a waste transfer note confirming the appliance details, weight, and the facility it has been delivered to, fulfilling your duty of care under environmental law.
Compliance & Where Your Waste Goes
Domestic appliances are classed as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) under the WEEE Regulations 2013. This means they cannot legally go to a general landfill; they must be sent to an approved authorised treatment facility (AATF) where hazardous components (refrigerant gases, oils, lead-containing parts) are extracted safely, and recoverable materials (copper, aluminium, steel, plastic) are sent to a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) for reprocessing. If an appliance is still functional—a fridge, washing machine, or cooker in good working order—the removal team may offer a diversion route: Distributor Take-Back Scheme (DTS) for items bought with a new replacement, or donation to a local charity refurbishment centre. You receive a waste transfer note for each collection, confirming the appliance has been handled by a licensed waste carrier and treated in compliance with Producer Compliance Scheme regulations. This protects you legally and documents the appliance's responsible disposal.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about appliance removal in Alum Rock.
How much does appliance removal cost in Alum Rock?
Cost depends on the appliance type, size, and whether it requires hazardous-material handling (e.g., refrigerant extraction from a fridge). A single washing machine or dryer removal typically costs less than a full kitchen clearance involving multiple items. Contact the team on 07751 979473 with your appliance details for an exact quote; most jobs are quoted same-day.
Can you do same-day appliance removal?
Yes, same-day collection is available in many parts of Alum Rock depending on scheduling and crew availability. Book as early as possible in the day for same-day service, or choose a date that suits you. The team will confirm the time window within 24 hours of booking.
What items can you take away?
The service covers white goods and domestic appliances: washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, fridges, freezers, cookers, ovens, microwaves, and tumble dryers. Non-electrical bulky items such as sofas and mattresses require a separate collection; contact the team to confirm whether a combined removal can be arranged.
Do you recycle the waste you collect?
Yes. All appliances are transported to a licensed approved authorised treatment facility (AATF) where hazardous materials are safely extracted and recoverable materials—metals, plastics, glass—are forwarded to a Material Recovery Facility for reprocessing. You receive a waste transfer note documenting the route.
Is your service licensed?
Yes. The removal service operates as a licensed waste carrier under UK environmental law, complying with WEEE Regulations 2013 and the Producer Compliance Scheme. Every collection is documented with a waste transfer note confirming legal disposal and meeting your duty of care obligations.
