Fast, Responsible Collection Across the UK
Getting rid of a broken washing machine or unwanted fridge is harder than it looks. Most councils will not collect white goods from your doorstep, and skips do not take fridges. Giant Van makes appliance removal straightforward. Our team collects from any room, carries everything to the van, and disposes of items responsibly. No heavy lifting for you, no stressful trips to the tip. Call us on 020 3129 6180 or book online and we will sort it the same day or next day in most UK locations.

What Is Appliance Removal and How Does It Work?
Appliance removal is a collection service that takes old, broken or unwanted household appliances away from your home or business. It covers white goods such as washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, fridges and freezers, as well as larger kitchen appliances like range cookers and American-style fridge-freezers. It also includes smaller items such as microwave ovens, air fryers and built-in ovens once disconnected.
The process is simple. You book a slot online or by phone. A two-person Giant Van crew arrives at your chosen time. They carry the appliance from wherever it sits, including upstairs bedrooms or tight kitchen spaces, load it into the van, and take it away. You do not need to drag anything to the kerb or hire a separate disconnection service for most items.
Giant Van handles the entire waste chain. Appliances go to licensed recycling facilities where metal, glass and plastic are separated and recovered. Fridges and freezers containing refrigerants are de-gassed by certified contractors before the casing is shredded. You receive a waste transfer note on request, which shows the item was disposed of legally. This matters if you are a landlord or business owner who needs to demonstrate duty-of-care compliance under UK waste regulations.
Appliance Removal Pricing: What to Expect
Pricing for appliance removal depends on the number of items, their size and your location.
Giant Van charges a fixed, transparent price agreed before the team arrives. There are no hidden fuel surcharges or access fees added afterwards.
As a general guide, a single large white good such as a washing machine or fridge costs less than hiring a skip for the day when you factor in skip permit costs and the effort of loading it yourself.
Collecting multiple appliances in one visit reduces the cost per item significantly. A full kitchen clearance covering cooker, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and washing machine is priced as a load rather than per item, making it efficient for landlords and developers refitting a property.
Volume matters more than weight.
A large American-style fridge-freezer takes up space in the van even though it is not the heaviest item. Our online booking tool gives you an instant quote once you describe what needs removing. If you are unsure how many items you have or whether a built-in appliance qualifies, call and we will talk through the options. Same-day and next-day slots carry no premium in most areas, so there is no reason to delay.

4 Tips
Washing machines need the water supply turned off and the hose drained. Fridges and freezers should be switched off at least 24 hours ahead so ice melts and residual water drains away. Cookers and ovens should be isolated from the gas or electricity supply by a qualified person beforehand. Giant Van's crew are not gas engineers or electricians and cannot disconnect live appliances.
Move chairs, rugs and fragile items away from the route between the appliance and the front door. If the appliance is in a tight kitchen alcove, remove the doors from their hinges if you can. The team carries protective matting for floors and door frames, but a clear path always makes the job quicker.
The crew needs a clear route wide enough for the item to pass through without turning it on its side in a confined space. Let Giant Van know at booking if there are stairs, awkward corners or a narrow front door, so the right team and equipment are sent.

Appliance Removal Rules in the UK: What You Need to Know
UK law places specific obligations on householders and businesses when disposing of electrical appliances.
Understanding the rules helps you avoid fines and ensures items are handled properly.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 (WEEE Regulations) require that electrical appliances are not sent to general landfill.
Large household appliances fall under WEEE Category 1. Producers and retailers must offer take-back schemes, but these do not always cover situations where you are changing supplier or disposing outside of a new purchase.
Fly-tipping a washing machine or fridge in a public place carries a fixed penalty notice of up to £400 and a potential unlimited fine on conviction under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
Councils across England, Scotland and Wales prosecute fly-tipping cases regularly. In 2022 to 2023, local authorities in England dealt with over 1 million fly-tipping incidents, with large household items accounting for a significant portion of reported cases.
Hiring a licensed waste carrier like Giant Van removes your legal liability.
We hold the appropriate Environment Agency waste carrier registration. When you book with us, you transfer your duty of care for the waste item to a regulated operator. This is particularly important for landlords managing buy-to-let properties, where the responsibility for proper waste disposal during refurbishments falls on the property owner, not the tenant.

Why Choose Giant Van for Appliance Removal?
Giant Van has built a reputation across the UK for showing up on time, treating homes with respect and charging a price that is clear from the start. Here is what sets us apart for appliance removal specifically.
We collect from the actual location of the appliance. Many collection services ask you to bring items to the ground floor or front door. Giant Van's crew carries items from where they are, including up flights of stairs or through narrow passages.
We operate seven days a week. Landlords dealing with a property changeover and homeowners having a new appliance delivered on a Saturday need a service that works around real schedules. Giant Van does not restrict collections to weekdays.
We are fully licensed and insured. Public liability insurance protects your home during the collection. Our waste carrier registration means every item is disposed of through a legal and traceable chain.
We offer genuine same-day collection. When you call before midday, a crew can often be with you the same day. There is no premium for this; the price is the same as booking in advance.
We quote before we arrive. The price is agreed at the time of booking based on what you tell us. If anything changes on the day, we discuss it with you before starting work. We do not arrive and then increase the quote.

Alternatives to Professional Appliance Removal
6 Tips
Understanding the alternatives helps you decide what works best for your situation.
Some local councils in the UK offer a bulky waste collection service for white goods. Costs vary from free to around £30 per item depending on the council. Waiting times are typically two to four weeks. Fridges and freezers are often excluded or charged separately due to refrigerant handling. This is a reasonable option if you are not in a hurry and your council includes your appliance type.
When buying a new appliance from a major retailer, they are often obliged under the WEEE Regulations to take back your old item on a like-for-like basis. Delivery teams do not always collect from difficult locations, and the service is tied to a same-day delivery, which may not suit your schedule.
Working appliances in reasonable condition can be listed on Freecycle, Facebook Marketplace or Gumtee. This is cost-free and keeps items in use. However, you are responsible for arranging collection by the buyer, which can mean multiple no-shows and delays.
Hiring a transit van and a skip to remove appliances yourself requires two people to lift safely, a skip permit if placed on the road, and a separate trip to a licensed facility for fridges and freezers. The combined cost and effort often exceeds the price of a professional collection.

Fast, Responsible Collection Across the UK — FAQs
What appliances does Giant Van collect?
Giant Van collects all large white goods including washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, fridges, freezers and fridge-freezers. We also collect ovens, range cookers, microwaves and built-in kitchen appliances once disconnected. Smaller countertop appliances can be included when collected alongside a larger item. Call if you are unsure if your specific item qualifies.
Do I need to move the appliance to the kerb before collection?
No. Giant Van's two-person crew collects appliances from wherever they are in your property, including upstairs rooms, utility rooms, garages and tight kitchen alcoves. You do not need to move anything to the front door or kerbside. Simply clear a path through the home and the team handles all the carrying and loading directly to the van.
How much does appliance removal cost with Giant Van?
Pricing is based on the number and size of items and your postcode. Giant Van provides a fixed quote before arriving with no hidden charges added afterwards. Collecting multiple appliances in one visit reduces the cost per item. Get an instant online quote or call for a price tailored to your specific items and location before committing to a booking.
Can I get same-day appliance removal?
Yes. Same-day appliance removal is available in most UK areas when you call before midday on . There is no premium for same-day collection; the price is the same as booking in advance. Next-day slots are also available online. Availability depends on your postcode, so calling early gives you the best chance of a same-day crew.
Is it legal to put a washing machine in a skip?
Most skip hire companies will not accept large electrical appliances due to WEEE Regulations, which ban large household appliances from general landfill. Fridges and freezers containing refrigerants are specifically prohibited and require specialist handling. Using a licensed waste carrier like Giant Van ensures your appliance is disposed of legally and that your duty of care under UK waste law is properly transferred.
Do I need to defrost my fridge before collection?
Yes. Switch off your fridge or freezer at least 24 hours before the collection slot so ice can melt and residual water drains away. This prevents water leaking during the carry-out and protects your floors. Leave the doors slightly open during defrosting to speed up the process. The team cannot transport a fully iced-up appliance safely as it may drip throughout the property.
Can Giant Van remove a built-in oven or integrated appliance?
Yes, provided the appliance has already been disconnected from the electricity or gas supply by a qualified person before the team arrives. Giant Van's crew are not electricians or gas engineers and cannot disconnect live appliances themselves. Once an integrated oven, dishwasher or fridge is safely removed from its housing, the team can collect and dispose of it in the same visit.
Will I receive proof of disposal for the appliance?
Yes. Giant Van can provide a waste transfer note on request, issued within 24 hours of collection. This document confirms your appliance was passed to a licensed waste carrier and confirms lawful disposal. This is particularly useful for landlords, property managers and businesses that need to demonstrate duty-of-care compliance under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and WEEE Regulations.
