Donate Small Kitchen Appliances: Free Doorstep Collection
Kitchen appliances are essential items for many households. However, not many people think to donate them after they have no use for them anymore. Anglo Doorstep collections will take your unwanted kitchen appliances right from your doorstep for free. Whether it’s a coffee machine that is gathering dust or a kettle that you’re looking to swap out for a new one, we can take it off your hands for you!

The simple test
What Kitchen Appliances & Electricals Can We Collect?
We can take almost all small kitchen appliances. If it can fit into a medium moving box, we can likely collect it. Please note, as we rehome most of our donations, we can only collect appliances in full working order. Here are some of the items we can collect:
- Kettle
- Toaster
- Air Fryer
- Blender
- Coffee Machine
- Hand Blender
- Juicers
- Mixers
- Milk Frother
- Electric Knife
In full working order
Check it switches on and does its job before you pack it. Someone else will plug it in and use it, so it needs to work.
Fits a medium moving box
If it fits, we can most likely take it. Anything bigger than that is too large for us to collect.
Clean and complete
Empty the kettle, shake the crumbs out of the toaster and keep jugs, lids and blades with the appliance they belong to.

Please leave out
Kitchen appliances we can’t take
Microwaves
We don’t collect microwaves, even small ones in good working order.
Instead: your council’s household waste recycling centre takes electricals, so it can be recycled.
White goods and large appliances
Fridges, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, cookers and anything else too big for a medium moving box.
Instead: ask the shop selling you a new one whether it will take the old one away, or book your council’s bulky waste collection.
Broken or faulty appliances
If it doesn’t work, or it has a damaged cable or plug, nobody can use it again.
Instead: take it to an electricals recycling point near you.
Got any electricals that we can’t take? Take a look where you can recycle electricals near you on the Recycle Your Electricals Page Here. Please leave out any food too, and empty coffee machines of beans and pods before you pack them.
Why donate
Why Should You Donate Your Kitchen Appliances and Electricals with Us?
Kitchen appliances can be something we take for granted. Many families across the world cannot afford the luxury of owning some of these household essentials. Donating them helps make kitchen appliances accessible to everyone.
Giving Them a Second Home
Our kitchen appliances are shipped to various locations around the world where they are needed the most, including countries like Syria and Iraq. However, we understand that even in the UK, these electricals are not affordable for many households. This is why we also distribute them to be reused across the UK, to help struggling families have the essential kitchen tools they need.

Helping The Environment
Many electricals and appliances in the UK often end up in landfill when they are still perfectly usable. By letting these appliances end up in landfills, people are forced to buy new products which means more factories, more shipping, and more CO2. By donating and reusing these products, you help us save CO2. It also helps to reduce the waste that ends up in UK landfills each year.
We estimate that every kilo of kitchenware used again instead of made new saves around 1.5 kg of CO2e. Read why on how donating kitchenware helps the planet, or try the green calculator on your own clear-out.
Afterwards
Where Do Your Donated Kitchen Appliances Go?
Your donations begin their journey at our warehouse, where they are sorted into categories and repackaged for distribution. We make sure as little as possible goes to waste. Plastic bags are reused for protection, and cardboard packaging is fully recycled.
Some items stay in the UK to be rehomed locally, while others travel to distant regions like Africa, South America, and South East Asia. Wherever they go, they’re sold affordably to help those in need, with a large percentage of the proceeds supporting the charity you choose.

Does my appliance have to work?
Yes. We can only collect appliances in full working order, because most of what we collect is used again. Please check it before you pack it.
Can you take my microwave?
No. We don’t collect microwaves, fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers or other large appliances. Your council’s household waste recycling centre can take most of them.

If it fits into a medium moving box, we can most likely collect it. Kettles, toasters, blenders, coffee machines and most air fryers fit easily.
