Whether you’re decommissioning a single unit or clearing multiple vending machines from your premises, we ensure fast, compliant removal. With FridgeCycle, you benefit from a simple, efficient process that takes care of everything from collection to certified recycling.
Vending machines are classed as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and must be disposed of correctly due to the materials and components they contain. From cold drinks machines and snack dispensers to hot beverage machines, we can collect and process a wide range of commercial vending units.
Please get in touch with our team regarding your type of vending machine, quantity of equipment, collection address and any other specific requirements. If available, please provide images of the waste.
We will then analyse your needs and provide a tailored quote. Once accepted, we will work with you to arrange a suitable collection date.
Our licensed waste carriers will then collect your vending machine and transport it to certified treatment and recycling facilities. Here, they are safely broken down, separated and recycled for repurposing.
Vending machines contain a mix of valuable and hazardous materials, making professional recycling essential. Once collected, machines are transported to authorised treatment facilities where they are manually and mechanically dismantled.
First, any refrigerant gases (in cooled vending machines) are safely extracted to prevent environmental harm. Components such as wiring, motors, compressors, and circuit boards are removed and sorted for recycling. The machine body, typically made of steel or aluminium, is then shredded and processed for metal recovery.
Plastics, glass, and any electronic parts are separated and sent to specialist recycling streams. This comprehensive process ensures that as much material as possible is recovered, reused, or repurposed.

Vending machines are classed as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). Because they contain electrical components, wiring, and often cooling systems, they can’t be disposed of with general waste. Many also contain refrigerant gases and other materials that must be handled safely to prevent environmental harm.
We can collect both singular and multiple vending machines, including large equipment. Our business benefits from vans capable of removing bulky volumes of waste from businesses nationwide. We can also collect fridges, freezers and other electrical appliances in a single load along with your vending machines.
