Household appliance collection
We will collect all electrical appliances including microwave ovens and larger appliances from domestic properties only. For details of this, and how to dispose of old and broken items, please see below.
Can the electrical appliance be reused?
If Yes, see 'reusable items' below. If No, see damaged or broken items.
Reusable items
Where possible, try to make sure any electrical appliance you have is reused. You can advertise items on Freegle, or take them to charities. Charities also collect items free of charge.

Household electrical appliance collection scheme
We offer a household electrical appliance collection from domestic properties, at a cost of £29.70 per item for:
- computer monitors
- electrical cookers
- fridges
- freezers
- microwave ovens
- televisions
- tumble dryers
- washing machines.
You must pre-book a collection. Collection of electrical appliances is generally on a Tuesday. We will provide a firm collection date when you place your order. All items need to be outside the property, at the kerbside, or edge of the highway, if there is sufficient room to do so.
