♻️ Why Is Fridge Recycling So Important?

​Fridges, freezers, refrigerated cabinets, and ice machines contain hazardous materials such as:
​
  • CFCs and HFCs (ozone-depleting refrigerant gases)
  • Insulating foam with ozone-depleting or climate-harming properties
  • Compressor oils and coolants
  • Electrical components and plastics
​
If not recycled correctly, these materials can leak and cause serious harm to the environment. Additionally, under UK waste regulations and the WEEE Directive, fridges and freezers are classified as hazardous electrical waste, and must be disposed of at approved treatment facilities.

Case Study 1: Fridge Removal, WEEE and Hazardous Waste Collection for The Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust

​​Client: The Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust
Locations: Preston Manor & Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, Brighton
Date: June 2025
Waste Services Delivered: Fridge Removal, WEEE Waste Collection & Hazardous Waste Disposal

Overview

​​In a recent project, FridgeRecycling.uk partnered with The Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust to manage and responsibly dispose of Commercial Fridges, WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and hazardous waste across two of their key sites in Brighton: Preston Manor and Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.
This project demonstrated the Trust’s ongoing commitment to responsible environmental practices and safe waste management.

Scope of Work

Fridges & WEEE Waste Collection – Brighton Museum & Art Gallery

​​Our local WEEE team collected a variety of redundant electrical appliances and components, including:
1 x Large catering fridge
1 x Double drinks fridge
1 x Under-counter fridge
1 x Turbo oven
​
A range of smaller electrical items, including:
Microwaves
Vacuum cleaners
Computer monitors/screens
Lighting parts
General electrical sundries (filling approximately 1–2 full collection cages)

Hazardous Waste Collection – Preston Manor

​​A collection of small quantities of hazardous waste was completed, including:
Surgical spirit
Detergents
Cleaning fluids
Bleach
Mould remover
Disinfectants
Assorted aerosols
Out-of-date substances
All items were removed in compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations and safely transported by our licensed partner for certified disposal.

Fridge and Waste Recycling Process & Environmental Impact

​​All WEEE items are sorted, dismantled, and recycled at approved treatment facilities (AATFs). For this project:

Large fridges and catering appliances were degassed to remove refrigerants before metal and plastic components were separated for material recovery.
Screens and monitors were handled separately to ensure proper extraction of hazardous components (such as lead or mercury).
​
Smaller electrical items and lighting were sorted by material type, with plastics, metals, and circuit boards reclaimed for recycling or reuse wherever possible.
​
For the hazardous materials, each substance was:
Categorised according to COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) guidelines.
Contained in appropriate UN-approved containers.
Treated or incinerated at licensed facilities to eliminate environmental risk.

Outcome

​The Fridge removal, WEEE and Hazardous waste collection was carried out efficiently with minimal disruption to the Trust’s operations. All regulatory documentation was supplied, including waste transfer notes and hazardous waste consignment notes, to ensure full compliance and traceability.
​
By choosing to dispose of waste through a certified and environmentally responsible provider, The Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust has demonstrated leadership and care in the sustainable management of museum and public heritage sites.

Conclusion

​​This successful project is a model of responsible waste disposal in the cultural sector, highlighting the importance of choosing specialist contractors and maintaining a high standard of environmental accountability. Waste Cloud Ltd is proud to support The Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust in its ongoing commitment to sustainability.

Quick Reliable and would recommend them to any organisation looking for any sort of waste removal."

Mark Purvis from the Environment Agency.

Ellie Tanner, HSE Co-ordinator, S&A Produce (UK) Ltd.
​​"Good communication and efficient collection from 2 separate sites. The two men who collected the waste were professional and courteous—they arrived within the booked timeframe and assisted with the heavier items. Email communication during the booking process was speedy, efficient, and polite. I would recommend this company, easy to use and arrange collection."
​
Liz Doyle, Facilities Manager, Historic Premises Team at The Royal Pavilion & Museums Trust in Brighton.

Very friendly customer service and collections personnel. Would highly recommend."

​​"I had the guys collecting a couple of loads, fast and efficient! Will definitely use and recommend them."

Anne Jamieson, Homeowner.
​​​"We cannot give this Company high enough praise for the service they provided today. Craig was so pleasant and helpful throughout, giving us a bespoke service in that he bypassed the need to wait for a skip licence by arranging a cage lorry and 2 men. This was all completed in 4 days. He also retrieved some of the waste from 2 lofts which being elderly we were unable to do ourselves. The lorry men were equally pleasant and helpful, it was a treat to get good service. We would recommend the Company to anyone."

​Kathleen White, Homeowner.
​"Booked a 14yrd wait and load. Really good experience from start to end - Craig gave us a good deal and was helpful and responsive, letting us postpone the booking due to delays on our side, and driver of the skip helped us load the skip to maximise space. All round great experience and everyone very friendly and professional, would definitely recommend :)"

Xanthe Hatchwell, Facilities Manager.

 Rafal G, Homeowner.
"This company was easy to deal with from start to finish. They responded quickly with a reasonable quote, made no bones about what we added to the list, kept us informed about collection and the guys who collected were friendly, polite and efficient. We couldn't have hoped for better service and I'd recommend them for WEEE recycling."

Mr Richards, Homeowner.

Andy Slater, Homeowner.
