Fridge and freezer collection

Making room for the new one?
We’ll take the old one.

Replacing your kitchen fridge or clearing a freezer you no longer use? We collect unwanted fridges and freezers across Greater Manchester, from a single appliance to several items.

Our team handles the lifting and loading, then takes your appliance away for specialist disposal. You don’t need to hire a van or carry it outside for an indoor collection.

Before you send your request

  • A price for your collection

    Your appliances, postcode, access and preparation details determine whether we can show a price online.

  • Help when it needs a closer look

    If the collection needs extra assessment, our team reviews the details before confirming a price.

  • A date confirmed with you

    You can give a preferred date. Sending your request does not reserve a slot; we confirm availability with you.

Planning the collection

From its corner
to our van.

A fridge in the kitchen, a chest freezer in the garage or an appliance already outside: tell us where yours is so we can plan its route out.

Include any stairs, narrow doorways or tight turns between the appliance and where the van can park. You don’t need to move it to the kerb for an indoor collection.

Before collection day

Three things to do
before we arrive.

Please have your fridge or freezer empty, fully defrosted and disconnected from the power supply at least 24 hours before collection.

  1. 01

    Empty it

    Remove food and drinks from every compartment, including the freezer drawers.

  2. 02

    Defrost and disconnect

    Allow time for the ice to melt and clear away the water. If you need help with disconnection, tell us first.

  3. 03

    Clear the way

    Move loose items out of the collection route. You do not need to move the appliance outside for an indoor collection.

Built in or connected to water? Tell us first so we can check what help is needed. Please do not assume disconnection or removing kitchen fittings is included.

On collection day

Our team collects the appliances listed in your request. Have them ready as described above and keep the route clear of loose belongings.

New fridge on the way?

Tell us when it is due so we can check collection availability. Your preferred date is a request until we confirm it with you.

Something changed?

If the appliances, access or date change, let us know before collection.

Where it goes

What happens to
your old fridge?

A fridge isn’t ordinary scrap metal. Its refrigerants and insulating materials need specialist treatment.

We take your appliance to an appropriate receiving facility for that treatment.

A few useful answers

Fridge collection questions

Your appliance

Do you collect freezers as well as fridges?

Yes. Choose your appliance from the collection list above, including fridge freezers, chest freezers and under-counter appliances. If you cannot find a match, contact us before selecting a different item.

Can you collect an American-style fridge freezer?

American-style fridge freezers are included in the item list. Tell us about steps, doorways and any doors or fittings that may need removing. Collections needing extra assessment go to our team for review.

What about a built-in or water-connected fridge?

Tell us before collection if your appliance is built into kitchen units or connected to a water supply. Do not assume disconnection or removal from cabinetry is included. We need to check what help is required first.

Getting ready

Do I need to defrost it first?

Yes. Please empty all food, fully defrost the appliance and disconnect it from the power supply at least 24 hours before collection. Clear away the defrost water so the appliance is ready to move.

Do I have to move it outside?

No. We can collect from inside your property and do the lifting. Tell us where the appliance is and about any stairs or tight access when requesting your price. If it is already outside, tell us that instead.

What if I need help getting it ready?

Choose the option saying help is needed, or that you are not sure, in the quote questions. Our team will review the details before confirming the collection. Please do not attempt to move or disconnect anything you cannot handle safely.

Price and collection

How much does fridge or freezer collection cost?

Choose your appliances and quantities, then answer the postcode, access and preparation questions. Straightforward collections can receive an online price. If yours needs a closer look, our team will confirm the price before you book.

Can I choose a collection date?

You can request a preferred date with your collection details. We check availability and confirm the date with you. Sending a request does not reserve a collection slot.

What happens to the fridge after collection?

Fridges and freezers contain refrigerants and insulating materials that need specialist treatment. We arrange an appropriate receiving facility for the appliance rather than treating it as ordinary household rubbish.
