Whether it is a household or a commercial business, everyone hopes that their fridges and freezers would end a lifetime. However, just like everything else, refrigeration units have a useful life that ends sooner or later.
The disposal of fridges and freezers is not like the disposal of every other thing. These refrigeration units have parts that require special Commercial Fridge Disposal techniques to ensure that the environment is not harmed and you do not get into legal trouble.
We are authorized and licensed for providing waste disposal services for refrigerator units. Contact us for hassle-free and stress-free removal of commercial fridges/freezers without worrying about legal requirements.
Why Proper Disposal Is Necessary?
Commercial fridge disposal is a highly technical task. Refrigeration units have used CFCs & HCFCs like R-12 (Freon), R-21(Freon 21), R-134A, and others since 1990.
All of these gasses harm the ozone layer with some less harmful than others. Therefore, freezers and fridges need to be disposed of properly to make sure that these gasses do not harm the environment.

Legal Requirements
There are also legal obligations for disposal of these units which include:
- “Waste Management Duty of Care”, Environmental Protection Act 1990 which pertains to general waste management and segregates domestic waste from Business waste, the former has to be treated with more responsibility.
- “Removal of ODS” EC regulation 2037/2000, pertains to disposal of refrigeration equipment that contains CFCs, HCFCs and has to be removed properly before being scrapped.
- (WEEE)The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment regulations about how businesses should reuse, recover and recycle electrical appliances wherever possible.
As a result of these regulations, businesses in the UK must ensure the following when disposing of waste or when carrying out commercial fridge removal:
- Waste Classification: Hazardous and non-hazardous. Fridges & freezers count as hazardous.
- Permit for treatment, storage, disposal, or transport of hazardous waste (not applicable to catering)
- Ensuring that any disposal businesses you employ are licensed (documentary proof required). This implies employing a registered disposal business or company with the Environment Agency.
