White goods and large domestic appliances—fridges, freezers, dishwashers, dryers, tumble dryers, ovens—are classified as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) under the WEEE Regulations 2013. When we collect your appliance, it cannot simply go to landfill. Instead, it must be transported by a licensed waste carrier to an approved authorised treatment facility (AATF) or Material Recovery Facility (MRF), where hazardous components (refrigerants, oils, mercury switches) are safely extracted and recycled materials recovered.
Every removal includes a waste transfer note—a legal document that proves the appliance has been disposed of responsibly and in compliance with environmental law. You'll receive a copy; we keep one on file. Our vehicles and operators are licensed by the relevant authorities in West Midlands, and we work directly with certified recycling partners so you can be confident your old cooker or washing machine is not being fly-tipped or exported illegally. This transparency costs nothing extra—it's a standard part of the service.
