White Goods Recycling
At Go RubbishGo Ltd., we provide responsible, fully compliant white goods recycling services across London. Large household appliances contain valuable recyclable materials as well as components that must be handled carefully. Our trained teams collect, transport and process white goods safely, ensuring they are recycled in line with UK environmental regulations.
Whether you’re replacing a single appliance or clearing multiple units from a property, our service removes the hassle while protecting the environment and your legal responsibilities.
What Is White Goods Recycling?
White goods recycling is the lawful recovery and processing of large domestic appliances at authorised facilities. Items such as fridges, freezers and washing machines contain metals, plastics and electrical components that can be reused, alongside gases and substances that require specialist handling.
Our white goods recycling service ensures appliances are collected intact and processed under approved WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) standards, preventing harmful materials from entering the environment.

Clear and Transparent Pricing
Pricing for white goods recycling is based on the type and number of appliances, as well as access conditions. This ensures fair costs whether you’re recycling one item or several.
All pricing is agreed upfront, with no hidden charges for lifting, stairs or compliant disposal. You’ll know exactly what’s included before collection.
Why Professional White Goods Recycling Is Better Than DIY or Council Options
Transporting large appliances yourself can be unsafe and time-consuming. Council collections are limited, often infrequent and may not accept certain items such as fridges with refrigerants.
Our professional service removes appliances safely in one visit and ensures correct treatment under WEEE regulations, avoiding environmental harm and legal risk.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
White goods fall under strict environmental controls. We operate as a licensed waste carrier and ensure all appliances are processed at authorised WEEE facilities.
Using a compliant service supports your Duty of Care, protecting you from liability if appliances are dumped or mishandled after collection.
Recycling-First Approach and Environmental Protection
White goods contain high levels of recyclable metal and plastic. At approved facilities, components are separated, refrigerants are safely recovered and materials are returned to productive use.
This approach reduces landfill use, conserves resources and prevents harmful emissions.
Experienced, Insured and Professional Teams
Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in handling heavy and sensitive electrical appliances. We work carefully within homes and shared buildings, protecting floors, doorways and communal areas.
Professional standards, safety and responsible recycling underpin every collection.
