Getting rid of old whiteware can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. If you're an Aucklander, options are available to make the process easy and affordable. 

Whether upgrading your kitchen or clearing out space, you can eliminate your old fridge, washing machine, or other whiteware without sweating. Here's how to do it!

1. Understand Auckland's Whiteware Disposal Regulations

You can't just leave your old appliances on the side of the road. Auckland has specific rules for getting rid of large, bulky items. To avoid potential fines and hassle, check out the Auckland Council website. This will help keep our city clean and green.

2. Consider Selling or Donating

If you're considering removing your whiteware, consider whether it's still working. If it is, you could sell it online or donate it. You can find plenty of local community groups where you can give your old appliance a new home. Junk2Go also works with various charities to donate items in good working order to those in need.  This way, you'll be extending the life of your appliance and helping someone in need. 

3. Recycling is Your Friend

You can recycle a lot if any whiteware needs to be disposed of. This includes metals and certain plastics. Junk2Go is a company that specialises in removing and recycling appliances, where possible, in an environmentally friendly way. We follow our company standards and do everything possible to achieve this goal. We may not always be able to recycle 100% of all appliances and components, but we try our very best to recycle as much as we can.

4. Use a Professional Removal Service

Consider hiring a professional removal service such as Junk2Go. We are experienced in following the city's disposal rules and regulations and handling all the heavy lifting for you. This option is convenient and saves you time and energy, and you can have peace of mind knowing that your whiteware will be disposed of properly.

5. Prepare Your Appliance for Removal

To prepare for the removal service of your appliance, there are a few things you should do. First, unplug your appliance, and if it's still in working order, it’s much easier for Junk2Go to donate it if it’s clean, but if not, it’s no problem. Also, if it's easily accessible for the removal team, it will make the removal quicker - but again, if not, our team will certainly do their best to access the item(s). 

6. Think Ahead

Consider the lifespan of appliances before purchasing a new one. Choose durable, energy-efficient, and easy-to-repair to save money in the long run and reduce your environmental impact.
