We collect appliances from every part of Durham: the DH1, DH6 and DH7 postcode districts, including South Hetton, Haswell, Shotton Colliery and Ludworth. Send a photo, get one fixed price for the whole job, and a two-person crew carries the washing machine, cooker or dishwasher out to the van.
We cover Durham along with Chester-le-Street, Hetton-le-Hole and Houghton-le-Spring, and same-day or next-day collection is offered wherever possible. Sending your details early in the morning gives you the best chance of a slot that day, and we tell you what we can do before you commit to anything. Have the appliance disconnected and two people do the rest.
Nothing we collect in Durham is fly-tipped or left at the roadside. Appliances go to a licensed facility under our upper tier waste carrier licence, CBDU526130, where the steel, copper, plastics and glass are separated for recycling, or they are passed on for reuse where they still work. If you would rather use the bulky waste service from County Durham Council, it is booked ahead and the appliance usually has to be put outside on the day.

One fixed price from your photo
Send a picture, get a price for the whole job, pay once it is on the van. If anything looks different from the photo when we arrive, we tell you before we lift it.

How a Durham collection works
-
Send a photo
Take a picture of the appliance where it stands and send it to us, with a line about the floor it is on and your Durham postcode. The form on this page sends your details for you.
-
Get a fixed price
We reply with one price for the whole job: the carrying, the loading and the recycling. Nothing is added on the day.
-
Get it disconnected
Unplug it, turn the water off and take the hoses off. A gas cooker needs a Gas Safe registered engineer first, and a hard-wired one an electrician.
-
Pay once it is loaded
Two people carry the appliance out, lift it onto the van and you pay the quoted price. Collection in Durham is offered same-day or next-day wherever possible.

Most of it is recycled
90% of what we collect is recycled, and appliances that still work well are passed on for reuse where possible.

Appliance removal in Durham: questions answered
Which parts of Durham do you cover?
We cover every Durham postcode district: DH1, DH6 and DH7. If your postcode district is not in that list, send a photo anyway and we will tell you straight away.
How quickly can you collect an appliance in Durham?
Same-day or next-day collection is offered wherever possible. Send your details early in the morning for the best chance of a slot that day, and we tell you what we can do before you commit.
Can you collect from a flat in Durham?
Yes. Two people carry the appliance down the stairs or take it in the lift. Say which floor it is on and whether there is a lift, and the price we send already allows for the route.
Do you disconnect the appliance?
No. Have it unplugged with the water off and the hoses removed before we arrive. A gas cooker must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and a hard-wired cooker by an electrician.
What happens to my appliance after collection?
Working appliances in good condition are passed on for reuse where possible. The rest go for recycling at a licensed facility, where the metals, plastics, glass and motors are separated.
Why not use the council bulky waste collection in Durham?
You can, through County Durham Council. It is booked ahead and the appliance usually has to go outside on the set day. We collect from the room it is in and aim for same-day or next-day where possible. Send a photo and compare.
