A broken washing machine cannot just be thrown away. Apart from their weight, they are hazardous items that need specialist disposal.
How to Dispose of a Washing Machine Responsibly
Washing machines are “hazardous waste”. This means they need extra attention when disposing of them. Here are some options, depending on the reason for your change:
Washing Machine Is Broken
Repair
The first thing to do is call us here at S&D Ireland, as we might be able to repair your washing machine. We offer a fixed price labour charge when we can fix the machine on the first call-out, plus the price of the parts we use.
I’m Getting A New Washing Machine
Here are some responsible options for getting rid of working washing machines:
Donation
If your old washing machine is working, a donation is an option to consider. You could approach a charity shop, or give it to a family member or friend.
Retailer Collection
For your Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) items, we can offer either single item or multi-item collections, when you book this as part of your delivery service at the time of your order of a replacement item. The average cost is just £25
In Summary…
Your old washing machine may not be waste, so throwing it away should be your last resort. If you must, please be responsible and consider your disposal options.
