What to know before you load the van

Electrical items are free to take to a Hampshire tip. If you arrive in a van, you need a van permit. Our Hampshire tips guide covers booking, vans and what they take.

The free part is the tip fee. Getting a washing machine or cooker out of the house and into a vehicle is still down to you, and that is where most people get stuck.

Free for electrical items, if you can move it yourself.

  • Keeps a usable appliance out of the bin
  • Only suits machines that work

Washing machine and cooker dos and don'ts

Do

  • Have a gas cooker disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer first
  • Turn off the water and unplug the washing machine before moving it
  • Empty the drum and the oven of anything left inside
  • Take clear photos of the whole appliance if you want a price

Don't

  • Disconnect a gas cooker yourself
  • Drag a heavy machine down stairs on your own
  • Leave it dumped outside, as that can lead to a fine
  • Hand it to someone who can't show they are a registered waste carrier
