Fridge, freezer & WEEE removal
Fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers, TVs and other electricals collected. Fridges go as hazardous waste to a facility permitted to treat them.
Office and commercial clearance in Leeds
Desks, seating, filing cabinets, IT, shop fittings and stockroom waste, cleared between 7am and 7pm with a waste transfer note for your records.
Business waste comes with paperwork, and the paperwork is the point. Every load that leaves your premises needs a waste transfer note, or a document with the same details, and both of us keep it for two years. We complete one every time: what the waste is, its List of Waste code, where it was collected, our carrier registration and where it's going. If the council or the Environment Agency ever ask how your old office furniture was disposed of, the answer is in a folder.
We clear offices after a move or a downsize, shop units at the end of a lease, stockrooms, small warehouses, workshops and storage units. Desks, pedestals, meeting tables, filing cabinets and racking make up most of it. Office chairs need more care than people expect. Many are upholstered to domestic fire standards and fall under the POPs seating rules, so they're loaded separately and sent for incineration rather than mixed in with the rest of the clearance.
IT and electricals go as WEEE: monitors, PCs, printers, phones, and the kettle and microwave from the staff kitchen. Wipe or remove hard drives before we collect. We're a waste carrier, not a data destruction service, and won't pretend otherwise. City centre buildings often have loading bays, booked lift slots or managed entry, so tell us the building's rules and access times when you ask for a quote, and we'll plan the day around them.

Paperwork and the rules
A business has a duty of care for its waste. Use a registered carrier, describe the waste accurately and complete a waste transfer note for each load, which both parties keep for two years. The note includes the List of Waste code and your SIC code. Fridges and chillers are hazardous waste and need a consignment note, kept for three years. Upholstered office chairs made to domestic fire standards fall under the POPs rules and must be incinerated.
Worth reading: How to check a waste carrier licence before you hand over your rubbish. Anyone who takes your rubbish away for money should be on the Environment Agency's public register. Checking takes minutes, costs nothing, and is the simplest way to stay clear of a fly-tipping fine.

Office & commercial clearance: common questions
Do I need a waste transfer note for an office clearance?
Yes. Business waste needs a waste transfer note, or a document carrying the same information, for each transfer. It records what the waste is, its List of Waste code, your SIC code, both parties' details and where it's going. You keep it for two years and must show it to the council or the Environment Agency if asked. We complete one for every commercial job.
Do you shred confidential documents?
Not ourselves, but we can arrange secure shredding for confidential paper through a trusted partner. Hard drives need wiping or removing before we take the machines. After that, we take the empty filing cabinets, the old PCs and everything else on the list.
Can you work around our trading hours?
Our working hours are 7am to 7pm. If your building only allows clearances at set times, or you need to keep trading while we work, tell us when you get in touch and we'll see what fits. We'll only confirm a slot once we know we can keep it, and the quote will say what we're clearing and when.
Do office chairs fall under the POPs rules?
Often, yes. The Environment Agency's guidance covers office chairs that are fire resistant to domestic standards, as well as sofas and other domestic-type seating used by businesses. Purely commercial seating isn't in scope, though it can still contain POPs. We keep upholstered chairs separate from the rest of the clearance and send them for incineration.
Can you take stock, fixtures and fittings from a shop?
Yes: shelving, counters, display units, signage, packaging and unsellable non-hazardous stock. Tell us what the stock is when you get in touch, because some products, such as aerosols, chemicals or batteries in quantity, need different handling or aren't something we take. You'll get a waste transfer note covering the whole clear-out.
