Online electricals retailer AO hits domestic appliances recycling milestone
UK-based pureplay AO says that it has recycled over five million household appliances since it first opened its AO Recycling facility five years ago.
Based in Telford, this focuses on large appliances, including fridges, washing machines, tumble driers, cookers and dishwashers.
As many appliances as possible are refurbished to be sold on via trade and outlet shops. Over 200,000 appliances have received a new lease of life so far.
AO also offers a service where both customers and the public can book to have their appliances collected and taken away to be responsibly recycled.
Robert Sant, MD at AO Recycling, says: “We’re so pleased to have saved a huge five million appliances from potentially being fly-tipped.”
“While AO Recycling is best known for its innovative fridge recycling facilities, we also tackle a range of large appliances that arrive onsite.”
“Our research shows that there is a growing desire for a simple collection service for our unwanted appliances and we hope to continue recycling as many appliances as possible via our recycling services.”
