But in order to make room for your new washing machine, you\u2019ll first have to find somewhere for the old one to go! <\/p>\n

This can prove more than a little difficult. Not only are washing machines heavy and cumbersome to move but there are also various ways you can go about getting rid of them. But you can\u2019t simply take it out of your kitchen and dump it by the side of the road (Not unless you like being fined). So what are some of the options available to you? And which is the best one for you?<\/p>\n

To help with a smooth transition from the old to the new, you\u2019ll want to check out this guide<\/a> down below. We\u2019ll take you through all of the many options, so you can choose the one that best suits you!<\/p>\n

How Do You Dispose Of An Old Washing Machine?<\/h2>\n

There are numerous ways to get rid of an old washing machine<\/a>. Each of these methods has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. So let\u2019s take a look at each of the methods you can utilise.<\/p>\n

Sell It<\/h3>\n

No matter whether your old washing machine is in full working order, or completely beyond its best, there\u2019s potential to sell it onward. This is a great option if you are dreading the potential costs of upgrading your washing machine. The money earned from selling the old unit can be put towards the costs of the new unit! <\/p>\n

When it comes to selling, there are many potential avenues for you to take. One option is to sell the unit to a retailer. Many appliance retailers offer the ability to sell them your old appliance, to help lower the cost of a new appliance. If your local retailer offers this service, it\u2019s a great one to utilise, as it takes a lot of stress off of your mind.<\/p>\n

Selling your old washing machine can help to cover some of the costs of your replacement. As well as that, it will also move into the hands of someone who can benefit from it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can also sell your old washing machine privately. Know any local friends who might be in need of a washing machine? Contact them with an offer! Another option is to make use of online listing platforms like Facebook Marketplace. Here, you can advertise the product to local people at a price you set. <\/p>\n

If your washing machine is broken, don\u2019t worry! You can still easily sell the unit! There may be some local individuals or businesses that will buy a broken washing machine from you! There are plenty of parts from old washing machines that can be repurposed elsewhere![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#126366″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font_size=”20px” ul_line_height=”1.7em” quote_font=”|300|||||||” quote_font_size=”22px” quote_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” header_4_line_height=”1.2em” header_5_line_height=”1.2em” header_6_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Take It To A Recycling Centre<\/h3>\n

If you simply want the unit taken off your hands, then you\u2019ll want to bring it to a recycling centre. You can\u2019t simply throw the unit away with the rest of your average rubbish! Recycling centres have dedicated spots where you can simply drop off specific household appliances. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help at these centres, if you can\u2019t find the correct drop-off spot. <\/p>\n

You might need a little help with getting the washing machine to the Recycling Centre. If it won\u2019t fit in your car, then we\u2019d recommend contacting a local removal service to see what services they offer. Some may even take the unit off your hands and take it to the Recycling Centre for you![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/hotpoint-washer.jpg” alt=”Washer” title_text=”Washer” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#126366″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font_size=”20px” ul_line_height=”1.7em” quote_font=”|300|||||||” quote_font_size=”22px” quote_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” header_4_line_height=”1.2em” header_5_line_height=”1.2em” header_6_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Give It Away<\/h3>\n

If you don\u2019t feel like selling your old washing machine, then another great way to get rid of it is to give it away to someone who needs it. If you know any people in need of a washing machine, why not offer to bring your old one down?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re having trouble selling your old washing machine, or you can\u2019t afford to take it down to the Recycling Centre, then a great option is to donate it. This way, it finds a new home!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you don\u2019t know any people in need of a washing machine, don\u2019t fret. There are numerous charities that will gladly take your old washing machine off your hands, to put it into the home of someone who desperately needs it. Some of these charities may even offer a removal service to grab the washing machine at a time that is convenient to you![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”FAQs” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font_size=”20px” ul_line_height=”1.7em” quote_font_size=”20px” quote_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” header_4_line_height=”1.2em” header_5_line_height=”1.2em” header_6_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n

How Should I Dispose Of My Old Washing Machine?<\/h4>\n

There are a number of ways to get an old washing machine out of your hands. The best way is to sell it. By selling it, you can ensure the unit goes to a happy new home, and you will also earn some money. This money can be put toward your new washing machine! You can also give the washing machine to charity so that it can find its way to someone who needs it.<\/p>\n

Can You Put An Old Washing Machine In A Skip?<\/h4>\n

No. You should really avoid putting any electronic products into a skip. Electronic products are technically classified as hazardous goods. Instead of placing an old washing machine into a skip, you should try to bring it along to a local Recycling Centre. Here, the appliance can be safely dealt with. It also means that your old washing machine will be recycled. Great for clearing your conscience!<\/p>\n

Do You Need To Empty A Washing Machine Before Moving It?<\/h4>\n

Absolutely. Washing machines are incredibly heavy and difficult to move. Leaving the washing machine full of laundry will only make it much harder to move. We\u2019d recommend emptying it out before you attempt to move it. This also includes draining out all water before moving it. Make sure the unit has also been fully disconnected before moving it!
