Other paid alternatives for a fridge collection in Slough
We will always be open and honest with our customers about how you can get your fridge freezer collected in Slough, and so are more than happy to tell you that another option could be to use the service provided by the local council.
Local councils offer a bulky waste collection but it is not a free fridge collection service. Like us they will also charge a fee for their service. Like us, they will also make sure that your fridge freezer is disposed of in accordance with environmental regulations.
What you could also do is take the fridge freezer to one of the HWRCs in the Slough area, if it accepts large appliances and white goods. But of course, you will need a vehicle large enough to fit a fridge freezer in. Not always easy with today’s large sized appliances, including American-style refrigerators. They might not even be open on the day you want your freezer gone.
It’s also worth noting that some retailers offer a fridge freezer disposal service when you buy a new one. This can be a very easy option and means you don’t need to pay for the disposal and they will collect your fridge from any Slough address.
Just please make sure that you check to find out what their disposal methods are first to ensure they align with your values and environmental concerns.
