Broken washing machine and fridge removal: Where to put old appliances?
Why shouldn't appliances be left with normal trash?
Broken refrigerators, washing machines, electric stoves, and TVs are classified as electronic waste (WEEE). They often contain hazardous substances (such as freon in refrigerators) and valuable metals that can and must be recycled.
By law, electronics must not be thrown into municipal waste or left in nature. Correctly disposed of appliances are dismantled, and their parts are recycled back into the economy.
Is carrying a washing machine safe?
An average washing machine weighs 60-80 kg because it contains concrete counterweights to stabilize the spinning drum. If you try to drag it out of a narrow bathroom alone, you risk injuring your back and deeply scratching your floor.
Furthermore, washing machine pipes often hold residual water that spills during transport. With refrigerators, care must be taken not to damage the fragile compressor.
The simple solution: Door-to-door appliance disposal
You don't need to rent a van or ask neighbors for help. The Golog team will disconnect the appliance from the mains and water supply (assuming valves can be closed), safely lift it using moving straps, and transport it to a licensed electronics collection point.
We ensure the whole process is stress-free for you and entirely legally compliant.
