| Fridges/freezers recycling |
| Due to changes in legislation, household fridges and freezers are now recycled. However, there is a charge for this service (£24.50 + VAT per unit) as each unit is sent to the UK for dismantling / degassing and full recycling. Maughold residents can take their unwanted fridge or freezer to the Northern CA Site for recycling. An invoice to cover the recycling charge will be issued, and the Northern CA requests that residents take a form of I.D. with them (e.g. Driving Licence) in order that this can be arranged. |
| For any householder unable to take their fridge / freezer to the Northern CA site for recycling, there is a home collection service available (£34.50 + VAT). Please phone Manx Waste Solutions (Tel: 495327) to arrange. |
