Why Peterborough fly tipping rates are so high and how to report it. As well as avoiding rogue waste carriers and using safer alternatives.
Fridge collection in Sheffield and disposal of fridges in the Sheffield region comes with a certain element of problems and cost. This is down to a few different factors but the main ones are the gases in the copper canister at the rear and the insulation that is used within the fridge unit.
The short answer to this is no as their is no benefit other than the copper pot on the back for the scrap man. Hence why you see so many at the road side with the copper pots chopped off. It is also you legal resposibility to ensure all your white goods including fridges are collected and disposed of correctly.
Fridges are transported via a conveyor belt through a sluice with a double door system. The sluice works as an air locked entry gate for refrigerators. After passing through the airlocks, fridges are loaded into a two shaft shredder where the units are pre-shredded. The material then enters a hammer mill which reduces its size to circa. 50mm fragments and the PUR foam is separated from the other materials.
Foam and plastics are separated using a ZZ separator and the foam is then processed through a shredder, autoclaves in series, and press to produce briquettes, releasing the CFCs and other gases from the foam. The entire plant is operated under negative pressure with nitrogen used throughout the process to reduce oxygen content to prevent any fires or explosion. Gases released during the process are diverted to the solvent recovery unit (Activated Carbon) where they are captured.
The recovered material outputs from the process include: Ferrous metals, Non-ferrous metals, Plastics, Gas, Cables, Glass, Oil, Compressors and Foam briquettes.
