Call-out fee: £49 — covers our team travelling to you. Item prices are on top.
When a washing machine breaks or you're upgrading your kitchen appliances, the old ones need to go somewhere. In Blandford, across Blandford Forum, Blandford St Mary and Bryanston, we collect washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, and cookers from your kitchen or utility room. All appliances are taken to WEEE-compliant recycling centres where metals, plastics, and components are properly sorted and recycled. Georgian townhouses and modern estates properties in Blandford often have tight utility rooms or narrow kitchen doorways — we're used to manoeuvring heavy appliances through tricky spaces. Historic Georgian market town. Mix of retirees and families. The military presence at Blandford Camp adds a transient population element.
While we're there: add a fridge (£50), dryer (£45), or bags of rubbish (£12/bag)

Your appliance + call-out = £99 total. A half load is £179 — just £80 more to fill half the van.
Dorset Council will collect appliances as bulky waste for £30 for 1 item, £10 per additional item (max 6). The wait is up to 4 weeks, and you'll need to move the appliance to your property boundary. For a washing machine that weighs 70-80kg, that's a serious ask. TipRun collects from your kitchen — you don't lift a finger.

Blandford Recycling Centre has a WEEE recycling bay (1.5 miles from Blandford). But getting a washing machine or cooker there means loading it into a van — they're too heavy and awkward for a car boot. You'll need to lift it into the WEEE container yourself. Dorset address proof required. Save your back and book a collection instead.
Town centre has narrow historic streets. Newer estates on the edge have good access. Some rural properties around Pimperne have single-track lanes. For appliance removal, please unplug the item and turn off the water supply (for washing machines and dishwashers). We don't do plumbing or gas disconnections — gas cookers must be disconnected by a Gas Safe engineer first. Town centre has pay-and-display. Residential areas have driveways or free on-street parking. Bryanston has private estate roads.
“They drove out to Blandford for a single fridge. No extra charge for the distance.”
