Get your fixed price in 60 secondsAppliance removal with Load & Clear means a licensed waste carrier collects your old washing machine, cooker, dishwasher, or tumble dryer and sends it through proper WEEE recycling — not a general skip. Price it online, book a slot, and it’s gone the same day across Greater Manchester.
Why appliances need the WEEE route
Anything with a plug or a battery falls under WEEE — Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment — and by law it can’t go into general household waste or a mixed skip. Washing machines, cookers, dishwashers, and tumble dryers all qualify, and each contains a mix of recoverable metal, plastics, and components — motors, heating elements, circuit boards — that need separating out at a licensed facility rather than crushed together with everything else.
Gas appliances add a step: a gas cooker or hob has to be safely disconnected from the supply by a competent person before anyone can move it. If yours is still plumbed in, get it capped off first (a Gas Safe registered engineer for a cooker or hob), then book the collection once it’s free to lift.
Appliances still in working order are offered to reuse and PAT-testing partners before anything is scrapped — a working washing machine is worth more to someone else than the scrap value of its parts.
How much does appliance removal cost?
As market guidance, a single appliance typically runs £35–£80 across Greater Manchester, and a kitchen’s worth of appliances collected together usually lands somewhere in the £80–£150 range depending on how many and how much access is involved. For your exact fixed price, use the instant quote.
Fridge or freezer specifically? They need refrigerant degassing on top of general WEEE recycling — see our fridge & freezer disposal page for the detail.

Appliance removal FAQs
What counts as WEEE, and why does it matter?
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment — anything with a plug or a battery, from washing machines to kettles. It matters because WEEE items can’t legally go into general waste or mixed skips; they have to be collected and processed separately so that hazardous components and recoverable metals are handled correctly. Washing machines, cookers, dishwashers, and tumble dryers all fall under WEEE.
Do you disconnect the appliance for me?
We lift and remove appliances that are already disconnected — unplugged, and for gas cookers, safely capped off from the supply by a competent person. If a gas appliance is still connected, arrange the disconnection first (a Gas Safe engineer for a cooker or hob), then book us for the collection itself.
Can you take a built-in or integrated appliance?
Yes, though it usually needs releasing from the cabinetry first — screws, brackets, and worktop fixings vary by kitchen. If it’s already free of the unit when we arrive, it’s a straightforward lift; if it still needs releasing, mention that when you book so the crew brings the right tools.
What happens to appliances you collect — do they get reused?
Working appliances in good condition are offered to reuse and PAT-testing partners before anything is scrapped. Everything else goes through licensed WEEE recycling, where metals, plastics, and hazardous components are recovered and processed separately, with a waste transfer note as proof.
