Fridge Removal Bristol
Looking for fast, legal, and hassle-free fridge removal Bristol? You’re not alone. Getting rid of old fridges and freezers has become a lot more complicated in recent years. Due to the hazardous gases and insulation materials they contain, these appliances can’t simply be tipped or left out for general waste collection.
Whether you’re clearing out a student flat, replacing your kitchen appliances, or managing an office or commercial premises, we offer a reliable fridge and freezer disposal service across Bristol—licensed, insured, and environmentally responsible.
Why Is Fridge Disposal So Expensive Now?
Fridges, freezers, and other cooling appliances contain refrigerant gases like CFCs and HFCs, along with foam insulation that often includes Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). These gases are highly harmful to the environment if released and are tightly regulated by UK environmental law.
Because of this, disposal facilities are required to:
- Safely extract refrigerant gas using sealed systems
- Treat the internal insulation as hazardous waste
- Ensure full compliance with the Environmental Protection Act and POPs Regulations
This complex, specialist process has driven disposal prices up significantly. In 2025, most commercial waste sites in Bristol charge between £45–£65 per fridge or freezer, and that’s just the dumping fee. Sites also require pre-registration for hazardous waste and won’t accept commercial or trade fridges without full documentation.
This means fridge removal in Bristol now involves more than just lifting and loading—it needs to be handled correctly, or it could lead to fines, rejected loads, or environmental offences.
Our Fridge Removal Service in Bristol
We offer a complete fridge collection and disposal service in Bristol that’s fully licensed, fully insured, and fully compliant with environmental law. Whether it’s a domestic under-counter fridge, a large freezer, or a commercial appliance, we’ll collect it, load it safely, and ensure it’s disposed of through the proper legal channels.
We cover the whole of Bristol and surrounding areas—from Bedminster and Redland to Fishponds, Knowle, and Bishopston.
How It Works: 3 Simple Steps
1. Tell Us What You’ve Got
Get in touch with us via phone or message. Let us know if it’s a fridge, freezer, or both, where it’s located, and what kind of access you have. We’ll guide you through what’s needed and answer any questions.
2. We Collect
We’ll agree a collection time that suits you, turn up on schedule, and handle all the lifting and loading. Our team is experienced with staircases, tight hallways, and basements—nothing fazes us.

Your fridge is transported directly to a licensed treatment facility where refrigerant gases are safely removed, insulation is neutralised, and all recyclable parts are salvaged. You get total peace of mind that it’s been done properly.

Why Use a Licensed Fridge Disposal Service?
Illegal fridge dumping is a major issue in the UK. Not only is fly-tipping fridges a criminal offence, but even using an unlicensed waste carrier puts you at risk of prosecution if that fridge is found dumped.
We’re a fully registered upper-tier waste carrier, and every fridge we remove is processed at an authorised facility. That means:
- No risk of fines
- No environmental damage
- No time wasted at the tip
- No stress
You get a service that’s local, trustworthy, and fully in line with environmental guidelines.
