Our recycling service conditions
Our recycling service conditions
- Before we accept an appliance for recycling, it must be safe to travel. Please defrost fridge freezers and empty washing machines and dishwashers of all water.
- We prefer to remove & recycle an appliance similar in size to the one we deliver. However, if we have room in our delivery van, we'll try our best to remove your old appliance if it's bigger than the one we deliver.
- If the manufacturer delivers your new appliance, they'll remove only a like-for-like old appliance. So, if you receive a new fridge freezer, they'll remove only an old fridge freezer.
- If you bring an old PC, tablet, or mobile in-store for recycling, please remove all personal data beforehand. We do also offer an in-store data wipe service.
- We won't remove & recycle industrial or car batteries. You can contact your local council to discuss the appropriate disposal of these items.
- Please be aware that we can't remove & recycle all old appliances. Appliances we can't remove include: immovable items and appliances hardwired into a fuse spur.
In July 2007, the government introduced new rules to help reduce volumes of untreated waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) going to landfill, and to control its treatment. To comply with these rules, we only sell electricals and electronics that can be recycled, as indicated by the symbol of a crossed-out wheelie bin which appears on them.
Even if your old electrical appliances or technologies don’t bear this symbol, the good news is we'll accept them for recycling.
What happens to your recycled items?
Once we've got your item, we'll give it a once over. If we discover it still has some life, we'll attempt to resell it or give it to charity.
We recycle almost any old tech. But please don't bring sensitive or unhygienic items in-store.
Please make sure all personal data is removed from old mobile phones.
Our Cash for Trash promotion is open to only UK residents. You can claim up to £10 discount when recycling your old tech. See our Cash for Trash T&Cs for more info.
