How to Dispose of a Washing Machine

What Happens to Your Washing Machine After Collection

Around 2.6 million washing machines are sold in the UK annually. A significant proportion end up in landfill — which is both illegal for WEEE items and a waste of recoverable materials. When your machine reaches our licensed facility, here is what happens: Assessment — Working machines are tested. If usable, they go to our charity donation network rather than the shredder. Dismantling — The machine is broken down by hand. The drum, motor, pump, and control board are removed separately. Material separation — Steel, copper wiring, aluminium, plastic drum housing, rubber seals, and the motor are sorted into material streams. Recycling — Steel is the biggest component (most machines are 60–70% steel by weight). It goes to a steel mill and re-enters manufacturing. Copper from the motor wiring goes to specialist smelters. Recovery rate — Around 90%+ of a washing machine by weight can be recovered and recycled. Nothing goes to landfill.
