Name: Fridge Removal
Brand: Airtasker

Question 1

When should I replace my fridge?

Accepted Answer

It's recommended that you replace a refrigerator that's more than 15 years old – even if it still works – as it could be costing you dearly in energy bills. Modern fridges and freezers are designed to be much more energy-efficient.

Question 2

Can I dispose of a fridge myself?

Accepted Answer

Australia's strict refrigerator disposal laws mean you have to dispose of these appliances correctly, or you risk paying a fine and harming the environment. This is because many fridges and freezers contain Freon and other greenhouse gases which damage the ozone layer when released. You can save the trouble of finding an approved recycling centre by finding a fridge and Freon removal service near you.

Question 3

Can I donate my old fridge?

Accepted Answer

Most people won't be interested in buying an unwanted fridge, especially if it's an older and less energy-efficient model. You can check your local council's website to see if they collect old whitegoods, but this usually only happens on specific dates and will have a charge.

Question 4

Do I have to remove the fridge doors?

Accepted Answer

You don't have to make any preparations if you've arranged commercial fridge removal. The removalists can take the appliance out of your home intact. If you're recycling or donating your fridge however, you will usually be required to remove the doors and move it outside for collection.

Question 5

What happens to my old fridge?

Accepted Answer

After your fridge has been collected, the chemical coolants will be carefully removed and disposed of in compliance with refrigerator disposal laws. Metals and other materials will be separated and recycled to make new products.

Question 6

How much does refrigerator disposal cost?
