White Goods

The disposal of fridges, freezers and air conditioning units is part of the WEEE directive.

As a business or domestic user we all have obligations to meet, therefore it is important that you understand what you should do with your electrical goods.

For individuals and domestic users, we are a registered (Designated Collection Facility) therefore we can accept items bought into the depot, or of course you can use your local authority Civic Amenity Site who should provide a fridge and freezer disposal scheme in your area.

For business users we can arrange collection from your site at a convenient time.

FootprintMatters2U provide a fully auditable commercial collection solution to ensure that your targets are met as easily as possible.

Please note that fridge and freezer disposal is generally a chargeable service for businesses. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

FootprintMatters2u has a chain of strategic partners which means that we can recycle your fridges, freezers, chillers, display cabinets, cold room panels and air conditioning equipment.

Equipment contaminated with refrigerants, oils or containing ozone depleting CFC’s will be classed as Hazardous Waste and require treatment in accordance with Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005.

FootprintMatters2U bulk up these items before taking them directly to an approved treatment facility where they are dismantled, hazardous components separated and treated accordingly, and the remaining material recycled.

We can handle all wastes arranging for the necessary paperwork, personnel, plant and transport. Contact us to see how FootprintMatters2U can take care of this for you.
