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.
