Businesses have stricter duties than households when they get rid of appliances. Every collection needs a waste transfer note kept for at least two years, and in England and Wales fridges and freezers collected as business waste are hazardous waste, which needs a hazardous waste consignment note kept for three years. Getting this right matters, because the business remains responsible if its waste ends up fly-tipped.
We collect from offices, cafés, pubs, salons, gyms, holiday lets, student accommodation and housing blocks. Jobs range from a staff kitchen fridge and microwave to a full refit clearing dozens of appliances. Collections can be timed outside opening hours where access allows, and items are removed in a sensible order so the site keeps working and staff or residents are disturbed as little as possible.
