Whitegoods and appliance removal in Mullumbimby
What does the tip charge for a fridge?
A gassed fridge or air conditioner without a degassing certificate is $50 each at the Byron Resource Recovery Centre, because the refrigerant has to be recovered before it can be recycled. Handling that side properly is included when we take the appliance, and the metal itself then goes into the scrap stream at $4.50 per 100 kilograms.
Does the appliance need disconnecting first?
Empty, unplugged and defrosted for fridges, unplumbed for washers, and hardwired ovens disconnected by a tradesperson before we arrive. Live gas, water and wiring are licensed work we will not touch. The carrying, the truck and the proper disposal are all ours.
Can you take the old one when the new one lands?
Yes, and it is the booking we get most. Tell us your delivery date and the old unit goes the same day or the next, so the garage never becomes an appliance graveyard. Requests reach us at any hour, so working it around a delivery slot is easy.

Salt air off the Brunswick coast and long damp seasons in the valley are hard on appliances. When yours gives up, it should leave through the scrap metal stream, not rust beside the shed.
Whitegoods and appliances: quick answers
What does a fridge cost to get rid of?
A gassed fridge or air conditioner without a degassing certificate is $50 each at the Byron tip, because the refrigerant must be recovered before recycling. Handling that side properly is part of the job when we take the appliance, and the metal then goes into the scrap stream at $4.50 per 100 kilograms.
Does it need disconnecting before you arrive?
Yes please. Fridges empty, unplugged and defrosted, washers unplumbed, and a tradesperson off any hardwired oven before we come. The lifting and the disposal fall to us; live gas, water and wiring are licensed work we leave well alone.
Can the old unit go when the new one arrives?
Yes, and it is the booking we see most. Give us the delivery date and the old unit goes the same day or the next, so the dead fridge never sets up permanent residence in the garage.
