Fridge Removal
Fridge & Freezer Disposal Across Christchurch
Old Fridge? We'll Take It Off Your Hands
A dead fridge is one of the hardest things in the house to get rid of. It's too heavy to lift alone, it won't fit in the car, the council red bin won't take it, and because fridges contain refrigerant gases, they can't simply be dumped. Our fridge removal service handles the whole problem in one visit.
We collect every kind of fridge and freezer: standard and double-door fridges, French-door units, chest freezers, upright freezers, bar fridges, and commercial fridges from shops and cafes. Working or broken, inside the house or rusting in the garage — condition and location don't matter.
Our two-person team does all the disconnecting, lifting, and manoeuvring, including stairs and tight laundry doorways. Then we make sure the unit is properly degassed and recycled, so the refrigerant is safely handled and the metal gets a second life. We cover all of Christchurch with prompt, same-week pickups.
Also clearing a washing machine or other appliances? See our washing machine removal and full whiteware removal services — one pickup can take the lot.

Why Fridges Need Proper Disposal
Fridges and freezers contain refrigerant gases that are potent greenhouse gases if released. Before a fridge can be recycled, a technician has to safely remove the refrigerant — a step called degassing. Dumping a fridge illegally or leaving it on the kerb risks releasing those gases and can attract a fine.
When we collect your fridge, it goes through the correct channel every time: refrigerants are professionally removed, then the steel, copper, and plastics are separated and recycled. You get the space back, and the fridge stays out of landfill.

What Our Customers Say
"Our old freezer died in the garage and had been sitting there for months. One phone call and it was gone the same week — they even carried it up the driveway without marking a wall."
— Karen T.
"Bought a new fridge and the retailer wouldn't take the old one. James picked it up the next day, disconnected and all. Easy as, and cheaper than I expected."
— Dave R.
