Why You Can’t Just "Dump" a Fridge

Refrigeration units are classed as hazardous waste because they contain refrigerants (gases) and insulation foams that can damage the ozone layer if not handled correctly. In London, fly-tipping a fridge carries heavy fines and environmental consequences. Optimus Waste provides a fully compliant, "paper-trailed" solution for all cooling appliances.

What We Take

  • Domestic: Undercounter fridges, tall larder fridges, and chest freezers.

  • Luxury: Heavy American-style "side-by-side" fridge freezers.

  • Commercial: Display chillers, bottle coolers, and industrial freezers.

Why Choose Optimus Waste vs. National Platforms?

  • The Proper Paperwork: We provide a Waste Transfer Note specifically mentioning the disposal of hazardous WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). National aggregators often fail to provide this specific documentation, leaving you legally liable.

  • Heavy Lifting Experts: American-style fridges can weigh over 150kg. Our teams come equipped with the right trolleys and ramps to remove these safely without damaging your floors.

  • Environment First: We guarantee that your unit is sent to a specialist plant where the gases are safely extracted and the metal is shredded for reuse.
