Council collection
The council bulky collection page asks you to make sure large items such as cupboards and fridges are empty, apart from their own fixtures. It does not list fridges as excluded. One fridge is one item in the count of five. Cover it, keep it clean and put it out by 6am.
The tips
The Kirkless visitor guide shows a container for fridges and freezers, and also for large and small domestic appliances and TVs. A van or pick-up needs a free tip permit, and only adults should unload. The pages give no limit on numbers.
Private collection
A licensed company will usually remove a fridge from the kitchen. UK guide prices are about £30 to £70.
