Electrical Waste Disposal
At Go RubbishGo Ltd., we provide professional, fully compliant electrical waste disposal services for households, businesses and property professionals across the UK. Whether you are replacing a single appliance or clearing large volumes of redundant equipment, we ensure all items are collected safely and processed in line with UK WEEE regulations.
Electrical waste requires specialist handling. Many items contain hazardous components or valuable recyclable materials, making proper disposal essential. Our service removes the risk, uncertainty and effort, delivering a reliable solution that protects you legally and environmentally.
What Is Electrical Waste Disposal?
Electrical and WEEE disposal refers to the collection and treatment of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. This includes any item with a plug, battery or electrical circuitry that has reached the end of its usable life.
UK law requires electrical waste to be disposed of through authorised routes. Incorrect disposal can result in environmental harm and legal penalties. Our WEEE disposal service ensures equipment is collected, separated and recycled or treated correctly.

Why Use a Professional Electrical Disposal Service?
DIY disposal often involves multiple trips to recycling centres, heavy lifting and uncertainty around compliance. Council services can be limited, slow or unsuitable for commercial quantities or specialist equipment.
Our service offers speed, safety and compliance. We collect directly from your property, provide correct handling, and ensure equipment is processed responsibly. This reduces risk, saves time and guarantees peace of mind.
Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
Electrical waste is strictly regulated in the UK. Go RubbishGo Ltd. operates as a licensed waste carrier and follows all requirements under WEEE regulations.
We support your legal Duty of Care by ensuring waste is transferred to authorised treatment facilities and managed correctly. This protects you from fines, liability and reputational risk associated with improper disposal.
Recycling-First and Environmental Responsibility
Electrical equipment contains valuable materials such as metals, plastics and components that can be recovered and reused. We prioritise recycling and recovery wherever possible, diverting waste away from landfill.
Hazardous components are treated safely, while recyclable materials are processed responsibly. This approach reduces environmental impact and supports sustainable waste management.
Trusted, Insured and Professional
Our teams are fully trained, insured and experienced in handling electrical waste safely within homes, offices and commercial premises. We work to professional standards, ensuring safe handling, clear communication and reliable service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does electrical or WEEE disposal cost?
Costs depend on the type and quantity of electrical items being removed, as well as access to the property. Pricing is based on the space your items take in our vehicle and the processing requirements. All charges are agreed before collection, with no additional fees for lifting, transport or compliant disposal. This transparent approach ensures you know exactly what to expect.
Do you offer same-day electrical waste disposal?
Same-day collections are often available, subject to availability and location. This is particularly useful for urgent replacements, safety concerns or time-sensitive business needs. Our flexible scheduling allows us to respond quickly, helping you remove unwanted electrical items without delay.
Is your electrical disposal service legally compliant?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and fully compliant with UK WEEE regulations. We ensure all electrical waste is taken to authorised treatment facilities and processed correctly, supporting your Duty of Care and protecting you from legal risk.
What happens to electrical items after collection?
Items are assessed and separated for recycling, recovery or safe treatment. Valuable materials are extracted for reuse, while hazardous components are handled responsibly. Only non-recyclable residues are disposed of, significantly reducing landfill impact.
How does this compare to council collection or skip hire?
Council services are often limited in scope and availability, while skip hire is unsuitable for many electrical items and requires manual loading. Our service includes safe handling, direct collection and compliant processing, making it faster, safer and more convenient for electrical and WEEE disposal.
