Retailers usually won't take your old fridge unless it meets these standard conditions:
: Typically charges around £25–£30 for removal and recycling. They also offer a standalone "Collect & Recycle" service if you aren't buying a new unit.
: Most standard haul-away services do not include disconnection from water lines or electrical mains unless you have specifically paid for an "Installation" or "Disconnection" service.
: The unit must be completely empty of food and fully defrosted with no remaining water.
: You must ensure a clear, safe path from the kitchen to the exit. For large units like American-style fridges, delivery teams may need to remove doors to navigate tight hallways.
