Responsible Fridge Disposal Wakefield
Our reliable and professional commercial fridge removal team are based in Wakefield. We can arrange to collect commercial fridge(s) from inside or outside your building within an agreed 2-hour time slot.
As a registered licensed waste carrier, we will provide you with a hazardous waste consignment note which is a legal requirement. When it comes to disposing of fridges that we have removed, we always assess the fridges, freezers and chillers to see if they can be reused or recycled. If a unit cannot be re-used then it will be recycled in accordance with the WEEE directive.
Why Choose Yes Waste?
Fridges are bulky items and are not easy to move or dispose of. We are a licensed and insured waste management company. Our professional, friendly and efficient teams help Wakefield businesses and residential customers with fridge, freezer and chiller recycling and responsible disposal.
Yes Waste have uniformed teams that usually consist of two or three people. We will contact you when they are 30 minutes away from the collection destination. Once our team arrive with you, they confirm the price with you before loading your rubbish from any location on the property.
We believe in sustainability. After we have collected the fridge(s) from your Wakefield business, they are assessed to determine if it can be reused. If we believe a fridge cannot be reused, it will be sent for processing at a dedicated recycling plant. Although over 95% of an average fridge is recyclable, it needs to be deconstructed within a sealed environment so that any harmful substances can be safely removed.
Once this has been achieved, the rest of the fridge materials are separated into individual streams; plastics, ferrous and non-ferrous metals and foam to be recycled or reused.

Why are Fridges, Freezers and Chillers Considered as Hazardous Waste?
Waste is considered ‘hazardous’ under the government’s environmental legislation (see here) when it contains substances or has properties that may make it harmful to human health or the environment. This does not necessarily mean it is an immediate risk to human health, although some waste can be.
Most refrigerators have a life span of around 10 to years, however, sooner or later, it will need to be replaced. It is very important at this point to recycle them as they all contain refrigerants (the substance that keeps your fridge cool by absorbing heat) that are potent greenhouse gases, and therefore, harmful to the environment.
Businesses in Wakefield have a legal obligation to ensure that fridges, freezers and chiller units are disposed of safely and legally. Here at Yes Waste, we ensure that your disposal is dealt with in a compliant and responsible manner.
