Fridge and Freezer refrigerants

Every fridge freezer  contains 'refrigerants' - a chemical used to carry heat, which changes from gas to liquid, and then back again to gas in the refrigeration cycle.

In the 1980s, most common refrigerants included chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) such as:

• R-22 Chlorofluorocarbons  
• R-134A Tetrafluoroethane
• R-438A Freon

Modern refrigerators

It was the discovery that CFCs were causing major damage to the ozone layer protecting the earth from ultra-violet radiation that led to their phasing out from 1989 onwards.

The main refrigerant now used is R-600a, or isobutane - a colourless, odourless gas - which has a smaller effect on the atmosphere if accidentally released.

Modern refrigerators also usually contain refrigerant HFC-134a,  which also has a reduced impact upon the ozone layer.  The use of R-134a is now increasingly rare.

Fridges and Freezers are classified as hazardous waste

However, fridges and freezers are classified as hazardous waste under WEEE regulations, which were revised and came into law in 2014.

WEEE stands for Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment. Large household appliances such as, fridges, freezers, washing machines and ovens currently account for over 40 per cent of  items collected and recycled under the WEEE regulations (Health & Safety Executive - HSE).

Flytipping of fridges, freezers and other white goods

Of some 957,000 flytipping incidents reported in the UK by DEFRA during 2018, nearly 47,000 incidents involved white goods, such as fridges, freezers, washing machines and tumble dryers, according to AO-World. London alone, recorded more than 9,000 cases of flytipped white goods.

Flytipping of fridges and freezers is, alarmingly, on the rise - with an increased risk to the environment caused by the release of harmful refrigerants.

Attempts by councils and local authorities to provide a paid collection service of discarded fridges and freezers, and other large white goods can cause unexpected issues.

Removed by opportunists and illegally dumped

Householders can be often asked by a council to leave broken or unwanted appliances outside their property for collection.

Unfortunately, the items can all too often be removed by opportunists and eventually, illegally dumped.

That's why it's essential to always use a registered waste carrier license for a safe and responsible fridge freezer removal and disposal.

Penalty fines of up to £400 can be incurred for using an unlicensed waste carrier found to have flytipped your fridge, freezer or any other waste and rubbish collection.

Depending on how much time and resources you have at hand, there are several ways to dispose of your old appliances. As an ethical person, you probably want to dispose of it in a way that does not harm your surroundings. Below are some of the safe disposal methods that you can leverage as a resident of the UK.

Sell the appliance

There is a market for second-hand appliances in the UK. Whether you opt to sell it at a garage sale or leverage the use of online marketplaces like eBay, Gumtree or Craigslist UK, it is essential to remember that the depreciation rate of such electronics is high; thus, the prices are fairly low. The downside here is that the process is time-consuming as you are not guaranteed to get a ready buyer immediately.

Donate to a charity of your choice

Why let your fridge, freezer, microwave, washing machine or any other appliance end up in a landfill when it could find purpose in somebody else's home. Many churches, non-profits, thrift stores and second-hand stores are always on the hunt for these appliances, on condition that they are still functional. The problem comes in when you have to make the delivery yourself, and the cost incurred surpasses that of other disposal methods.

Sell it for parts

In certain cases, when your appliance gives out, there's no turning back. When this happens, your best bet is to sell it for parts. You can take it to a used appliance dealer or your local scrap metal dealer. The dealers either repair the appliance for resale or break it down to its components and recover any bits that are still functional. The risk associated with this method is that you can never be sure whether the rubbish remains will end up in a landfill somewhere.

Recycle

It's the most environmentally conscious method of disposing of unwanted appliances. However, recycling white goods is much easier said than done. The majority of these products are marked as hazardous and require utmost care in handling. Recycling can be undertaken by your local council tip. This usually comes at a cost, and certain complexities involved, such as booking an appointment day, a lengthy waiting period should you opt for them to collect the appliance. Finally, these centres don't always have the capacity to take in your appliance.

The good news is that we have waste clearance companies like LITTA that are willing to offer these services in a time-convenient fashion while keeping the costs at a minimum. Rest assured, your appliances will not end up in some landfill in London, thanks to the expertise of our professional and friendly team.

Responsible Appliance Disposal

Disposing of items in an ethical and environmentally friendly manner is a core value at our company. In fact, we currently pride ourselves on a 93% recycling rate of all the waste that we collect from diverse business locations. At LITTA, we are a team with green credentials, and we aim to divert as much rubbish as possible from going to a landfill. Appliances like washing machines and fridges are categorized as hazardous waste because they contain toxins that can leach into groundwater when disposed of improperly - but not here! We guarantee that your appliances will be responsibly collected then safely decommissioned without releasing any harmful chemicals or substances back into the environment.

White Goods Recycling at an Affordable Price

Some people decide to dispose of their old appliances themselves when they break or need to be replaced. However, this task often takes up time in one’s schedule with little reward in return other than an empty home space devoid of junk items. Alternatively, some choose disposal through council channels. While convenient, it usually comes at a cost. Additionally, you need to confirm with your local council tip that they can actually take in your appliance.

LITTA offers affordable prices for our collection services. We have different rates depending on the appliance, whether it's a fridge, washing machine etc., but there's a common £25 call-out fee, which is confirmed at checkout once you enter your address. There are no hidden fees! You can make payments safely because we use secure technology to ensure that all transactions happen easily and securely.

While using a reputable waste management company such as ours might feel a bit more expensive, using very cheap appliance disposal and collection services increases the possibility of fly-tipping. Typically, in London, processing and recycling appliances come at a cost. The good news is that LITTA does the job at a competitive rate, and you don't have to worry about ethical and environmentally conscious disposal.

Fridge Freezer Recycling

If you live in London and its environs, LITTA is the best option for white goods collection. We offer an on-demand fridge recycling service to help you collect fridges and freezers and dispose of them hassle-free.

Currently, our fridge and freezer disposal service cater to four types of fridges; a commercial fridge, American fridges, small and large fridges, or freezers. Disposing of household appliances like fridges can be stressful because they contain materials that are harmful to the environment, such as R-22 Chlorofluorocarbons, R-134A Tetrafluoroethane, and R-600A Isobutane, among others so you need to follow regulations on appliance disposal. Improper disposal of fridges with these gases results in the release of dangerous elements into the atmosphere, which has adverse effects.

Getting rid of an old mattress can be cumbersome for a number of reasons. You can't disassemble your unwanted mattress for storage in the artic as you would with your old beds. Foam mattresses can fold easily for convenient storage, but this is not the case for most traditional mattresses. If your next thought is to break the mattresses into smaller components and then burn them, the idea is ill-advised as it can lead to uncontainable flames and also release toxic chemical fumes. It is also not worth the trouble you could get into with your neighbours and local council authorities.

Household Waste Recycling Centres or tips offer free mattress recycling services to their residents. Recycling may seem like the most feasible way of dealing with the challenge, but this can be an equally challenging task if you don't have a large car to haul it to the nearest council tip. Additionally, the said recycling centre might be further than the mattress owner is willing to drive to get to. The challenge is even bigger for businesses, as council tips do not cater to commercial waste management- thus a hotel cannot take their old mattresses for recycling. In instances where the council is willing to make leeway for businesses, they'd have to pay for the service.

For some individuals, simply leaving the mattress on the curbside or dumping it in a rubbish skip is enough of a solution. However, these mattresses might end up in a landfill, which goes against the UK's efforts in trying to combat this environmental crisis.  So, how do you get rid of your old mattress without worrying that you're contributing to landfill sites or degrading the environment in one way or another

That said, getting rid of an old mattress might sound like an uphill battle. The good news is that we have a few eco-friendly and legal ways to get the job done. So please consider the following methods when you do decide to dispose of a mattress in London:

1. Sell it
2. Recycle it
3. Council collection
4. Donate it to a worthy charity
5. Return to your mattress retailer
6. Use a company such as LITTA that provides a mattress disposal service
   

Sell Your Mattress

You could sell your mattress if it's still in useable condition. Second-hand retail sites such as eBay or Gumtree provide a viable means of disposing of such a mattress in London. However, you may only get a token sum since nobody will pay good money for a used mattress regardless of its state.

Mattress Recycling

The materials that make up your mattress can outlive their intended purpose. That is why it may be a great idea to take your old mattress to a recycling service centre in London. They'll be delighted to take it off your hands and repurpose it into something more useful. The foam filler can become flooring underlay, for example.

Most councils, but not all have recycling centres that can accommodate your mattress. You can't simply walk it over to recycling centres; instead, make a call and find out if they are willing or have the capacity to recycle your mattress. The information is also availed online- simply visit your local council website to find out the location of your nearest recycling centre and what materials they accept. Additionally, many councils now require that residents book an online appointment for seamless service delivery.

Local Council Collection

If you lack the means to deliver your old mattress to your local council tip, you can alternatively make arrangements for bulky waste collection. The council will make arrangements to come to collect your waste at a subsidized fee. Residents should beware that due to logistics, the council may take longer to collect your old mattress.

Donate Your Used Mattress to Charity

What if your mattress is not too old, but you can't sell it for some reason? Well, that's not the end of the road. There is an individual that could use what you wish to discard. So, please consider donating it to any of the local charities, to get it to someone that could benefit. Charities such as British Heart Foundation, The Red Cross or The Salvation Army y are always looking for good-condition mattress donations.

Return to your mattress retailer

A mattress dealer can form a partnership with a furniture recycling group,  allowing them to take in your old mattress as you purchase a new one. They do this for free or at a charge. You can bring it with you to the shop, or have them collect your old mattress on the delivery date of the new one.  

Use a Mattress Disposal Service Such as LITTA

Let's face it. Most old mattresses are beyond resale or donation. But, that doesn't mean you should give up and let them accrue dust and mould on your property. Instead, put your trust in a London rubbish removal company that will remove and recycle your mattress at an affordable fee. With LITTA, buying mattresses and getting rid of the old ones doesn't have to be a stressful experience.

It's funny how we develop an attachment to our quilts, pillows and other bedding accessories. You can get used to the way memory foam mattresses arch to all your curves. But, mattresses also come with a shelf life. The Sleep Council places that shelf life at 7 years, while the National Bed Federation recommends replacing old mattresses after 8 years.

You might be wondering, didn't my mattress come with a 10-year guarantee? Here are a few notes to guide your decision to purchase a new mattress;

Lower Sleep Quality

You spend about a third of your life sleeping. So, shouldn't you be making the most out of it? A new mattress and ergonomic bed frame can help you get better sleep and may even reduce chronic pain during waking hours. This is because they tend to promote more consistent alignment that lets your muscles relax into their natural position rather than being pulled in opposite directions as with old mattresses.

Mattress Related Allergies

You may not think about it, but your bed is one of the dirtiest places in the house. The steady accumulation of bacteria and fungus from sweat, body products, dirt and dust can make you sick with something like a cough or an itch. The solution? Cleaning out that old mattress once every few years will help avert such eventualities. But if you neglected cleaning your bed for over 4 years, cleaning up now would be too late, and you should instead start shopping around for a new one.

Back Pain

Metal springs, memory foam, carpet underlay and other components wear out with time. This could lead to unhealthy sleeping positions and chronic back pain. It may also be wise to opt for a more therapeutic mattress or a new bed if you suffer from these issues every night.

Upgrading your mattresses is a positive step towards better health and wellness for both you and your loved ones. However, what to do with the old one is the million-pound question. Your mattress has probably served you well through the years, so it deserves responsible disposal. How? Contact us and book a pickup slot with LITTA, your trusted and licensed mattress collection team in London.
