Your council will usually take a washing machine as a bulky item, but councils often have a waiting list and collect from the kerb. We normally collect within a day from inside the property, and every machine goes to a WEEE-approved facility with a waste transfer note.

Any London Waste provides fast washing machine disposal across London. We handle disconnection assistance, removal from any floor, and WEEE-compliant recycling. Same-day collection available for urgent needs.
What changes the price is the stairs. A washing machine still carries its concrete counterweight, so even a compact model is a two-person lift once it leaves the ground floor. A machine in a ground-floor kitchen with the van outside is a single-item job; tell us the floor and whether there is a lift, and the quote allows for it.
Before we arrive, turn the water off, unplug the machine and pull it out from the worktop. It will still hold a litre or two in the sump, so tilt it forward over a tray or towel and let the filter drain. That keeps the hallway dry and the job short.

A single washing machine is our smallest load (from £45) plus a £55 eco-charge, so it starts from £100. The eco-charge covers disposal: large appliances have to go through a WEEE-licensed recycler. Washer-dryers are priced the same way. A washing machine and tumble dryer collected together are priced by load size plus the eco-charge for each appliance. All prices are subject to VAT.
