A Star Waste Management did a great job clearing a big pile of old decking from my garden. They were efficient, reasonably priced and the men were polite and respectful, and were mindful not to damage any of my plants. Would definitely use their service again.

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 Portslade.
There are converted flats in many of the older terraces and several low-rise blocks around the town. Stairs, narrow landings and awkward turns are common, so we bring the right number of people and dismantle bulky items where needed to get them out safely.
Brighton & Hove City Council runs a chargeable bulky waste service and household waste recycling sites for residents. They are useful for occasional items. When you need a mixed load cleared and carried out for you, on a set day, we are the quicker route.
Portslade has plenty of rented terraced houses and flats. We clear them between tenancies, remove unwanted furniture and white goods, and empty back yards and sheds so the property can be re-let quickly.
Lower Portslade is mainly Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Boundary Road, Station Road and the streets between the railway and the harbour. Portslade Old Village has flint cottages and period houses, while the roads climbing to Mile Oak and Easthill are mostly post-war semis, bungalows and some council-built estates. Each brings its own access considerations, and we plan for them when we price.
Every fridge & freezer collection job in Portslade 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.
Portslade is around nine miles east of our Worthing base, roughly twenty-five minutes via the A27 or the A259 coast road. Here is how a typical fridge & freezer collection job in Portslade 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.
