Fridges and freezers contain refrigerant gases that can't just go to landfill — they need specialist WEEE recycling. In Bournemouth, where Edwardian and Victorian semi-detached properties are typical across Boscombe, Winton and Charminster, getting a fridge out of the kitchen and into a van isn't something most people can do alone. We collect from your kitchen, load it safely, and take it to a WEEE-compliant recycling centre where the gas is properly extracted and materials recovered. Mix of students near the university and retirees along the East Cliff and Southbourne. High turnover rental market in Boscombe and Winton. Whether you're upgrading your kitchen or clearing a property, we'll have your old fridge gone within the hour.
While we're there: add a washing machine (£50), dishwasher (£45), or bags of rubbish (£12/bag)

You can take a fridge to Millhams Recycling Centre (3.2 miles from Bournemouth), but you'll need a way to transport it — fridges don't fit in most car boots. If you use a van or trailer, you'll need a permit. Van/trailer permit required (free, apply online). The WEEE bay at the tip requires you to lift the fridge into the container yourself. A TipRun collection means we do all the heavy lifting, right from your kitchen.
Lots of flats above shops on Old Christchurch Road and in Boscombe. Many converted Victorian houses with narrow stairwells. Westbourne properties often have rear lane access. For fridge removal, please defrost the fridge the night before if possible and unplug it from the wall. If you have an American-style fridge with a water line, please turn off the water supply before we arrive. Resident permit zones across BH1–BH3 and parts of Winton. Pay-and-display near the town centre. Most suburban streets have free on-street parking.
