Why Do People in Sydney Remove Their Washing Machines and Dryers .
White goods like washing machines and dryers are not items you can just dump on the kerb or throw into a regular skip bin. These bulky appliances need special handling and responsible recycling.
Here are some of the most common reasons people in Sydney call us for washing machine removal:
1. The Machine Has Broken Down
Sometimes, it’s simply not worth repairing an old washing machine or dryer. Whether it’s a motor failure, a broken drum, or electrical issues, repairs can be expensive and unreliable. If it’s reached the end of its life, removal is the next step.
2. Upgrading to a Better Machine
Newer machines are often more energy-efficient, quieter, and smarter. When you upgrade, your old washer or dryer still needs to be removed—and that’s where we come in.
3. Inherited a Second-Hand Machine
A common situation is when a friend or family member gives you a machine they no longer need. If you already have one, the old one needs to go. We can collect it quickly and responsibly.
4. Damage from Fire or Flood
Electrical appliances that have been exposed to fire or water damage are not safe to use ,they can short the electricity supply and potentially cause issues . These machines must be professionally removed and disposed of at approved recycle and waste management facilities .
5. A Growing Family Needs a Bigger Machine
Outgrowing a small washing machine is common as your household grows. Whether you’ve welcomed a new baby or have teenagers generating more laundry, it’s time for a machine with more capacity.
6. Moved Into a New Home or Unit
When moving house, you might find the previous tenants left their machine behind, or the new place already has one installed. Let OTG Rubbish Removals clear out the unwanted appliance so you can enjoy your new space.
What Happens to Your Old Washing Machine or Dryer?
At OTG Rubbish Removals, we care about what happens to your appliances after they leave your property. Unlike fly-by-night rubbish removal companies that dump white goods illegally, we follow strict recycling and disposal guidelines.
We Recycle Responsibly
Most washing machines and dryers are made from metal, plastic, and sometimes concrete counterweights. These components are separated and recycled appropriately to reduce waste and keep materials in use.
Some Machines Can Be Repaired
If your old machine is still in reasonable condition, it may be sent to a licensed technician who can refurbish it for resale as a second-hand unit. That’s a win for the environment and the community.
OTG Rubbish Removals key goal is to recycle over 80% of items the we receive from rubbish and junk removals jobs .
No Landfill Unless Absolutely Necessary
We only send appliances to landfill if there are no viable recycling or reuse options available. Our aim is always to minimise the environmental impact of rubbish and junk removal.
What’s Inside a Washing Machine or Dryer?
Understanding the structure of these machines helps explain why they need professional handling:
– Plastic components (outer shell, knobs, internal housing)
– Steel drums and motors
– Concrete counterweights (in front loaders)
– Wiring and electronic parts
– Insulation and noise dampeners
These materials can be dangerous if left to break down in the environment and may contain hazardous components. That’s why your old washing machine disposal in Sydney should always be done by trained experts.
