Large Appliances
When you replace appliances, your retailer may take your old one away for recycling. There may be a charge for this.

We will accept one of each type of domestic kitchen appliance (one fridge, freezer or fridge/freezer; one washing machine, tumble dryer or washer/dryer; one cooker or oven; one dishwasher) on each visit. You cannot bring in two cooling appliances for example.

We can collect electrical items as part of our Special/Bulky Collection service. There is a charge for this.
