White Goods - Donate it, don't dump it!

Re-use of white goods: If you have made the decision to replace your old fridge or washing machine etc then you will be faced with the difficult prospect of getting rid of the old item. Your best option here is to contact your local re-use organisation who will usually be able to collect the items, refurbish them and supply them at low cost to the community.

Description: White goods must be in perfect working order to be of use to re-use organisations. Checks will be carried out on sight for safety. White goods include; washing machines, tumble driers, dish washers, fridges, freezers, stoves, air conditioners, water heaters all made of enamelled metal.
