Gloucestershire County Council
temporarily stopped accepting fridges, freezers, and cooling appliances at all county household recycling centres starting August 8, 2026.

This restriction is due to a national backlog and a shortage of specialized industry capacity to process and remove refrigerant gases safely.

Why the Restriction Exists
Specialist Treatment: Cooling units contain hazardous ozone-depleting gases and insulating foams requiring certified processing.

Capacity Shortage:
The number of discarded appliances across the UK has outpaced the processing industry's ability to clear them.

Full Storage:
Local recycling sites reached maximum safe storage limits for these specific items.

Alternative Disposal Options
Retailer Take-Back:
Retailers are legally required or contracted to take your old appliance away when you buy a new one.

Reuse Networks:
If the unit still works, list it locally via platforms like Freegle or Freecycle.

Private Collections:
Hire a licensed waste carrier to pick up the appliance from your home.

Moments like this are exactly why our grassroots fund exists.

Giving back to the local community is a privilege, but handing over £1,000 to the phenomenal team at The Door was truly special.

Thank you for everything you do to guide and support our youth—we are so proud to stand with you.
