Fridge or freezer $179 (degassed) · washer, dryer or dishwasher $145 — GST and all tip fees included. Picked up from inside your home, recycled or reused, recovery report on every job.
Old fridges, freezers, washing machines, dryers and dishwashers are heavy, awkward and legally need their refrigerant gas recovered before recycling. Junkbird collects them from the kitchen or laundry, degasses fridges and freezers through a licensed process, and sends the steel, copper and plastics to recovery.
A fridge or freezer is $179 picked up from inside the home, including the degassing fee, GST and all tip fees. A washing machine, dryer or dishwasher is $145. In a load (a kitchen refresh or a full clear-out) whitegoods ride along by load size with a $29 fridge degassing pass-through. The online quote books whichever is cheaper.
Refrigerant can't legally be vented, and scrap yards won't take a fridge with the compressor intact. Our fridges go through a licensed degassing process before the steel and copper are recovered — that is why the price is a little higher than a washing machine, and why you should be wary of anyone offering free fridge removal.
Steel to our metals partner, copper and aluminium separated, plastics and insulation to the appropriate stream. Working appliances are offered to charity partners first. Your recovery report shows what was recovered.
