White goods and e-waste removal in the Sutherland Shire
Updated October 2026
Old appliances are the most awkward rubbish in the house. A dead fridge is too heavy for one person, too big for the car, and not allowed in the red bin. The broken TV and the drawer of dead laptops, chargers and routers are not allowed there either. White goods and e-waste removal Sutherland Shire crews solve both problems in one visit: they carry the heavy items out, load the electronics, and route each to the right disposal or recycling stream.

What the crews collect
- Fridges and freezers, including garage beer fridges that finally gave up
- Washing machines, dryers and dishwashers
- Ovens, cooktops, rangehoods and microwaves
- TVs of every vintage, from flatscreens to the old tube set in the shed
- Computers, laptops, printers, monitors and boxes of cables and chargers
- Hot water systems, air conditioners and exercise equipment
One fridge on its own, or a whole kitchen's worth of appliances plus the junk around them: both are normal jobs. If the appliances are part of a bigger clean-out, the household rubbish removal page covers the rest.
Why e-waste needs its own path
TVs and computers can be recycled free through the national e-waste scheme, and most other electronics are better off recycled too. Fridges and air conditioners need their refrigerant gas handled properly before the metal is recycled. The practical point for you is simple: these items should not go in the red bin or get dumped on the kerb outside a booked collection. A crew takes them to e-waste and scrap metal facilities instead. Metals in white goods have scrap value, which is part of why appliance-only loads are often cheaper per item than general junk.
Council options, and when a crew makes sense
Sutherland Shire Council runs booked kerbside cleanups that can include some whitegoods, and there are periodic e-waste drop-off events. Check council's current cleanup allocation and accepted items before relying on it. The council route is free but needs a booking, a wait, and you getting the fridge to the kerb yourself. A crew costs money but carries the item from wherever it sits, upstairs laundry included, on a day that suits you. For a rental changeover or a sold house, that speed is usually the point. If it has to be gone today, see same-day rubbish removal.
What it costs
Guide pricing only: single-item appliance pickups in Sydney commonly land somewhere between about $70 and $150 depending on access and the item, with each extra appliance cheaper than the first. Stairs, narrow access and doors that need removing add time and cost. The rubbish removal cost guide has the full picture. Crews quote firm before lifting anything.
Jobs come in from every corner of the Shire, from apartment blocks in Cronulla and Sutherland to family homes in Jannali.
Frequently asked questions
Do fridges need to be emptied and defrosted?
Emptied, yes. Defrosted is ideal but not essential, crews move iced-up freezers regularly. Leave the door taped or strapped shut if it is waiting outside.
Can they carry a washing machine down from upstairs?
Yes. Two-person carries down internal stairs are standard work. Mention stairs, lifts or tight corners on the form so the quote is right the first time.
Is my data safe on old computers and phones?
Remove or wipe drives yourself before collection if the data matters. The crews take e-waste to recyclers, but data destruction is your responsibility, not part of the service.
Will they take a single item, or is there a minimum?
Single items are fine. Most crews have a minimum callout charge, so adding the other dead appliance or a few boxes of junk to the same pickup is usually good value.
