Fridge and freezer disposal in Leicester
Fridges and freezers contain gases that have to be removed at a specialist site, so you can't just put them out with the rubbish. Here's how to get rid of one in Leicester.
- Free council collection in Leicester city (counts as one of your five items)
- Both city tips take fridges and white goods
- Buying new? Ask the retailer to take the old one
- Private collection, carried out for you: often £20 to £50

Council collection
Large appliances, including fridges, freezers and washing machines, are included in Leicester's free bulky collection. It must be outside by 7am. Outside the city, district councils charge. In Charnwood, very large American-style fridge freezers may be refused.
The tip
Both Leicester city tips and the Leicestershire county tips take fridges, freezers and white goods. You'll need help to lift it, and staff may not be able to help unload.
Retailer take-back
When you buy a new appliance, many retailers will take away your old one on delivery, sometimes for a charge. Check before you order.
Private collection
A licensed company will carry it out for you and take it to a proper recycling site. A single appliance is often £20 to £50. See single item removal.
