Fridge & freezer collection Brighton
We carry out old fridges, freezers and white goods from wherever they are and send them for proper recycling, where refrigerant gases are safely removed.
Fridge and freezer collection in Brighton & Hove is quick and simple. Brighton is around eleven miles east of our Worthing base, roughly thirty minutes along the A27 or the A259 through Shoreham and Hove. We carry old fridges, freezers and white goods out of homes, flats and businesses across Hove, Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park and Seven Dials.
Every appliance collected in Brighton & Hove goes to licensed WEEE recycling, where refrigerant gases and foam are removed safely and the metal and plastic are recovered.
Fantastic service I highly recommend them, took a shed down yesterday rang them last night they were here first thing this morning to take it away along with other garden waste. Highly competitive rates but they don't cut corners. They swept and tidied up after themselves as well, I'll definitely use A Star in all my future jobs. Thank you.

We collect fridges, freezers, fridge-freezers and American-style units from homes, flats, garages and businesses, carrying them out from wherever they are, including upstairs flats and awkward kitchens. We also take other white goods, such as washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers and cookers, in the same visit.

Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape fridge & freezer collection jobs in Brighton & Hove.
Brighton is a city of flats: top-floor conversions with narrow staircases, basement flats down steep outside steps, and modern blocks with lifts and concierge rules. We bring enough people to carry heavy items safely, dismantle furniture where needed, and protect common parts.
Brighton & Hove City Council offers a chargeable bulky waste collection and runs household waste recycling sites at Hollingdean and Wilson Avenue. These are fine for the occasional item. For multiple items, mixed rubbish or anything that needs carrying down several flights of stairs, a single visit from us is usually quicker and better value.
Brighton has two universities and a huge private rented sector. Every summer, student houses in Hanover, Coldean, Moulsecoomb, Bevendean and elsewhere are left with broken furniture, mattresses and bags of rubbish. We work with landlords and letting agents to clear them fast so cleaners and contractors can get in before the new tenants arrive.
Much of central Brighton and Hove is made up of Regency and Victorian townhouses that have been converted into flats, often with four or five floors and no lift. Hanover and Elm Grove are packed with steep terraced streets, while Patcham, Withdean, Hangleton and Westdene are mainly inter-war and post-war semis and bungalows. Understanding the building is the key to pricing a Brighton clearance accurately.
Every fridge & freezer collection job in Brighton & Hove is different, but these are the items we collect most often:
The detail
Older fridges and freezers can contain CFCs or HCFCs, and newer ones contain HFCs or hydrocarbons, both in the cooling circuit and in the insulating foam inside the walls. Specialist treatment plants degas the circuit and process the foam in sealed conditions so that these gases are captured rather than released.
Because of that extra treatment, fridges and freezers cost more to dispose of than general waste. It is also why it is worth using a licensed carrier: a fridge that ends up dumped or stripped for scrap can leak gases and oil into the environment.
Fridges and American-style fridge-freezers are heavy, awkward and easy to damage walls and floors with. We bring enough people to carry them safely, take doors off where necessary to get through tight spaces, and protect floors on the way out.
Please switch the appliance off and defrost it at least a day before we come. It saves water leaking through your house and our van.
Brighton is around eleven miles east of our Worthing base, roughly thirty minutes along the A27 or the A259 through Shoreham and Hove. Here is how a typical fridge & freezer collection job in Brighton & Hove works:
WhatsApp a few pictures of the waste and the route to the road, or call 01903 962 492. Tell us your postcode and when suits you.
We reply with a fixed quote based on what we can see. No hidden extras, no pressure, and no obligation to book.
Our team arrives on the agreed day, carries everything out, loads the van and sweeps up behind us.
Waste goes to licensed facilities to be sorted and recycled where possible. Businesses get a waste transfer note.
We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:
Each unit has its own disposal cost.
Fridges and freezers cost more to recycle than washing machines.
Large American-style units take more handling.
Stairs and tight kitchens take longer.
Adding other rubbish to the same visit is often good value.
Responsible disposal
All fridges, freezers and white goods go through licensed WEEE recycling. Refrigerant gases and insulation foam are captured at specialist treatment plants, and metals and plastics are recovered for reuse.
Whoever takes your waste, check they are a registered waste carrier. Householders have a legal duty of care, and if waste you paid someone to remove is fly-tipped it can be traced back to you. We are licensed and insured, take every load to authorised facilities, and are always happy to show our credentials.

BeforeAfterBeforeAfterJust used A Star Waste Management and the service was fantastic. The chap was extremely polite and efficient and I would certainly use this company again and recommend them whenever I can.
Super helpful! I sent a message on WhatsApp on the weekend and got a reply the same day with a price. They came and collected 2 days later and all was left clean and tidy. Really efficient. Would highly recommend.
Collected the day following my initial message. Arrived in the morning and everything removed quickly and left tidy. Reasonable price too - excellent job! Thank you.
