When your fridge suddenly stops cooling or your washing machine breaks down, you’re left with more than just a household inconvenience. These large appliances, known as white goods, can be tricky to get rid of safely and responsibly. Luckily there is someone you can call!
At Steve’s Rubbish Removals, we understand how important proper disposal and recycling of white goods are for Brisbane residents and the environment. We take care of everything so you can save yourself some time and energy from the heavy lifting. In this blog, we’ll explain everything you need to know about responsibly disposing of your old white goods in Brisbane, highlighting simple, eco-friendly solutions to clear your home while protecting our environment.
What exactly are White Goods?
White goods traditionally refer to large household appliances. Originally coated in white enamel paint (thus their name) these appliances now come in various colours and can include:
- Refrigerators and freezers
- Washing machines and dryers
- Ovens, stoves, and microwaves
- Dishwashers
- Air conditioners
- Hot water systems
These household appliances can take up significant space, often require heavy lifting, and are made from materials suitable for recycling.
Why Recycle White Goods?
White goods disposal isn’t just about clearing space at your house; it’s about protecting our environment. Appliances like fridges, washing machines, and air conditioners contain metals, plastics, and glass, which are all materials that can be recycled. Recycling these items conserves resources, reduces landfill waste and helps preserve our natural environment.
Valuable Materials in White Goods
White Goods and appliances typically contain:
- Steel: Commonly found during a washing machine and fridge removal. It can be melted down and reused for new products.
- Copper: Found in wiring and motors, highly valuable and recyclable.
- Plastics and Glass: Used in various appliance parts and can be recycled effectively.
At Steve’s Rubbish Removals, we make sure that as much of your old white goods as possible are recycled, adhering strictly to Brisbane’s local council regulations.
