Very efficient service. Would highly recommend. They removed a large wardrobe and other smaller items of furniture. They even collected on a bank holiday.

If you need professional Fridge Removal in West Lancashire, The Rubbish Removers Ltd is your local, licensed solution. Because moving a heavy fridge or freezer is a difficult task that often requires more than just a strong back; it requires the right vehicle and the correct legal disposal method to ensure hazardous coolants are handled safely. We are a family run business with over 25 years of experience, serving households and businesses across the region, from the rural lanes of Parbold to the modern estates of Skelmersdale.
We provide a seamless alternative to the struggle of DIY disposal. Also as a fully licensed waste carrier (CBDU409710) a Which? Trusted Trader, and Buy With Confidence member, we guarantee that your appliance will be collected legally and recycled responsibly at a licensed transfer station. There is therefore no need to risk injury or damage to your home; our uniformed two man teams handle everything. So call our North West head office on 0161 339 7938 or send a photo to 07802 860 731 for a fast, free quote.

Unlike the local council, which strictly enforces a curbside-only policy, we are happy to come inside and do the lifting. Whether your fridge is in a third-floor apartment in Skelmersdale or a basement kitchen in an Ormskirk terrace, our team will disconnect the unit and carry it out for you. You don’t have to drag a heavy appliance to the pavement.
Manoeuvring large American style fridge freezers through narrow hallways requires care. We additioanlly ensure floors, walls and lifts are looked after during the removal process. Our crews are also experienced in navigating the tight doorways of older cottages and the communal stairwells of modern flats without causing damage.
When your new fridge is being delivered, you often need the old one gone immediately to free up space. We therefore provide a fast, reliable response and can often offer same day collection if you book early. We are the “Emergency Service” for waste, ensuring you aren’t left with a bulky appliance blocking your kitchen or driveway.
Furtheremore, we ensure proper handling of electricals and fridges. Refrigeration units contain harmful gases that must be degassed at authorised treatment facilities. We also provide a Waste Transfer Note (WTN) with every job, giving you proof that your Duty of Care has been met and the item has been diverted from landfill legally.

SINGLE ITEM (Minimum Charge)
Fact: Prices start from £80+vat.
Context: Ideal for a standalone bulky item like a fridge, washing machine, or sofa.
Benefit: Also cheaper and faster than Council bulky collection for many residents, with the added benefit of internal collection.
QUARTER VAN LOAD
Fact: Roughly 20-30 bin bags.

We removed two large chest freezers from an outbuilding. However the rural lane was too narrow for a skip lorry, but our agile vans accessed the property easily to load the items.
A customer needed an integrated fridge freezer removing urgently before fitters arrived. So we provided a “Wait & Load” service, parking legally on the street to remove the unit without delaying the builders.
We collected a heavy American style fridge from a first floor flat. However, the council had refused the collection as it wasn’t at the curb side, but our two man team carried it down the stairs safely.
1. Get a Quote: Give us a call, fill in our contact form, or WhatsApp a photo of your fridge to 07802 860 731.
2. We Arrive: Our uniformed 2 man team arrives in a specific window. We also give you a quick call ahead so you aren’t waiting around.
3. We Remove: We disconnect the appliance (if simple plug-in) and carefully carry it out, ensuring no damage to your property.
4. Recycling: 100% of fridges are degassed and recycled at a licensed facility. You also receive a digital Waste Transfer Note immediately.

We cover the entire borough and surrounding villages, including:
Q: Do I need to get the fridge to the ground floor? A: No. Unlike the council or basic “man and van” services, our teams are happy to come inside and do the lifting. We collect from upstairs flats, cellars, and also kitchens, provided there is safe access.
Q: Do you take large American-style fridges? A: Yes. Because we have the vehicles and manpower to handle large, heavy American-style units. Please tell us when you book so we can prepare the team for the extra weight.
Q: Does West Lancashire Council collect from inside my house? A: Generally, no. Most council bulky waste collections are strictly curbside. This can be a major issue for residents in terraced properties in Ormskirk or apartments in Skelmersdale where getting a heavy item to the curb is difficult or unsafe. Additionally we solve this by collecting directly from your kitchen.
Q: Can I take my own fridge to the local tip? A: You can, but it requires a vehicle large enough to transport it upright (to prevent damage to the compressor) and heavy lifting at the other end. Sites like the Household Waste Recycling Centre often require pre-booking or permits for vans. We therefore save you the hassle, the fuel, and the backache.
