Scrapping fridge freezer

hubb

I have replaced a 14 year Electrolux fridge freezer as it only seemed to reach at best -10, but mainly stayed at -5 in the freezer the last couple of years due to our very cold kitchen in bad winters. We now have a radiator installed. Also, it was uneconomical to run despite having a savaplug on it when I first bought it. Tried everything to no avail so getting rid.

It works ok if you just need it to chill things and not too deep freeze. I would rather give it away to someone who could make use of it as its a decent make but not sure if anyone would want it. We have rag and bone men coming round on a daily basis but I feel reluctant to give it to them.

Is it worth me scrapping it myself if I got a man and a van to run me to the scrap dealer or isnt it worth much ?

Thanks.

I think there are some rules about scrapping freezers because of the gasses in them so they have to be handled with care.

I really dont think you would get anything for it at all.

I would just give it to the scrappie and its out of your hair t be honest.

A fridge freezer of that age by rights should be de-gassed. Some scrap dealers turn a blind eye to this.

As a fridge freezer it is worth zero. In scrap value, its probably woth £2 - £3 and thats if you can find a scrap dealer that will turn a blind eye to it. Get a man withg a van to take you to a scrap dealer will cost yo £50. You are already £47 down on the deal.

If you leave it in the front of your garden it will be gone within a couple of hours - the 'rag and bone' men will take it away for you.

They come round every day so I will give them a shout.
