Fridge & freezer collection Lancing

Local fridge & freezer collection in Lancing

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 Lancing is quick and simple. Lancing is roughly three miles east of our Worthing base along the A259 coast road or the A27, usually a ten-minute drive. We carry old fridges, freezers and white goods out of homes, flats and businesses across North Lancing, South Lancing, Lancing village, Sompting and Cokeham.

Every appliance collected in Lancing goes to licensed WEEE recycling, where refrigerant gases and foam are removed safely and the metal and plastic are recovered.

Swift and efficient waste removal. Quick response from the team. Quoted the job from the photos I sent. They kept in communication with us, so we weren't hanging around. The guys worked quickly to clear the area, they were very professional. I highly recommend their service.

A Star customer, Customer review

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.

Local knowledge

Fridge & freezer collection in Lancing: what we know locally

Every town has its own quirks. These are the things that shape fridge & freezer collection jobs in Lancing.

Rental kitchen with bags and furniture left behind at the end of a tenancy

Flats and apartments

Lancing has fewer large blocks than Worthing or Brighton, but there are low-rise flats around the station and the shopping parade on North Road, and retirement developments across the town. Most are two or three storeys without lifts, so carrying furniture down the stairs safely is part of the job.

Council services and us

As in Worthing, residents are served by Adur & Worthing Councils for bins, bulky waste collections and the garden waste service, with county council recycling centres for self-delivered waste. We are the choice when you want it all done in one go without loading your own car.

After: the same bedroom emptied down to the carpet

Landlords and lettings

Letting agents in Lancing and Sompting use us to clear properties between tenancies, particularly bungalows and flats near the station. Getting a property empty and swept before the check-out inspection helps avoid disputes over deposit deductions.

Homes in Lancing

Much of South Lancing was built between the wars and in the decades after, so the typical Lancing property is a bungalow, a chalet bungalow or a semi with a drive. That is good news for a clearance: the van can usually park on the drive or right outside, and there are few stairs to deal with. Chalet bungalows do have steep, narrow staircases to the first-floor rooms and small eaves storage, which we allow for when we price.

What we take in Lancing

Every fridge & freezer collection job in Lancing is different, but these are the items we collect most often:

  • Fridges and freezersUnder-counter, upright and chest.
  • Fridge-freezersIncluding large American-style units.
  • Wine coolers and drinks fridgesDomestic and small commercial.
  • Washing machinesAnd washer-dryers.
  • Tumble dryersVented and condenser.

  • Cookers and ovensElectric only, disconnected.
  • Microwaves and small appliancesKettles, toasters and more.

  • Gas cookersMust be disconnected by a Gas Safe engineer before collection.
  • Integrated appliancesNeed to be removed from the kitchen units first, or ask us.
  • Very large commercial refrigerationAsk us, as some units need specialist removal.
  • Appliances still plumbed inPlease have them disconnected before we arrive.

The detail

Why fridges need special handling

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.

Getting it out of the house

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.

What affects the price of fridge & freezer collection in Lancing

We quote every job individually from photos, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are:

Number of appliances

Each unit has its own disposal cost.

Type of appliance

Fridges and freezers cost more to recycle than washing machines.

Size

Large American-style units take more handling.

Access

Stairs and tight kitchens take longer.

Other items

Adding other rubbish to the same visit is often good value.

How to prepare

  • Switch off and defrost fridges and freezers at least 24 hours before collection.
  • Empty all food, shelves and drawers.
  • Have washing machines and dishwashers disconnected and drained.
  • Gas cookers must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Responsible disposal

Where your Lancing waste goes

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.

Just 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.

A Star customerCustomer review

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.

A Star customerCustomer review

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.

Terry BradyGoogle review

Jordan organized his crew to come and clear a mountain of rubbish from my back garden. A well overdue clearance all soggy and disintegrated and included a dead rat within..yuk. The lads did an amazing job. They were polite and courteous and worked flat out in the pouring rain. I can highly recommend them and will be using them again. I probably won't leave it so long next time though!
