FRIDGE FREEZER AND RECYCLING
Fridges Are Hazardous — Not Just Bulky
Fridges and freezers contain ozone-depleting substances, oils, and insulation gases that make them hazardous waste under UK law. Fly-tipping or incorrect disposal can lead to:
Prosecution and fines under the Environmental Protection Act
Failed audits or environmental compliance issues for businesses
Fire hazards from old or damaged electrical units
Tenant complaints in void properties or housing stock
Loss of retail space or storage due to bulky, uncollected units
