Our air conditioning unit recycling service covers waste portable units and redundant cooling components from commercial premises and refurbishment projects. Split-system components, condensing units and larger chillers can present different access and refrigerant considerations. Tell us what equipment is ready for collection, its approximate dimensions and whether it remains installed, so our team can discuss collection separately from disconnection, refrigerant handling or other specialist work.
Portable units, split-system components, chillers and condensers from commercial premises or refurbishment projects need a clear equipment and disconnection scope.
Examples for collection
This list is not exhaustive. Tell us about other electrical items in the same load and our team can review them together.
- Split systemsWall and ceiling-mounted units removed when systems are renewed.
- Portable AC unitsMovable cooling units withdrawn from offices and server rooms.
- Chiller unitsWater-cooled plant replaced during a building services update.
- Condensing unitsOutdoor units cleared alongside the indoor equipment they served.
Scope waste air conditioning equipment
Identify system components
List indoor units, outdoor condensers, portable units, chillers and associated electrical controls.
Confirm disconnection status
Explain whether fixed systems have been professionally isolated and removed before collection.
Share dimensions and access
Provide weights, lifting information and rooftop, plant-room or loading restrictions.
Recycling refrigerant-containing equipment
We arrange onward recycling and treatment based on the electrical waste being collected and your location.
Air conditioning equipment can contain refrigerants, compressors, heat exchangers, electronics and metals. The appropriate route depends on the system component and condition, with onward facilities depending on the waste stream and collection location.
The importance of recycling air conditioning equipment
Air conditioning units contain refrigerants, compressors, heat exchangers and metals. Recycling this equipment ensures refrigerant-containing systems are handled through appropriate routes and valuable metals are recovered.

Air Conditioning Unit Recycling FAQs
Can portable and split air conditioning units be collected?
Yes. Portable units, split-system indoor and outdoor units and other commercial cooling equipment can be included.
Do units need to be decommissioned first?
Units should be disconnected and removed by a qualified engineer before collection. Tell us their current status.
Why is air conditioning recycled separately?
Air conditioning units contain refrigerants and compressors that require appropriate handling, alongside metals that can be recovered.
