Recycling & Disposal

Replacing an old radiator? Here’s how to get rid of it responsibly.

Old radiators

Most radiators are made of steel, cast iron or aluminium, which can be recycled. Drain any water out first and remove plastic parts such as bleed valve caps. Your local council recycling centre or a scrap metal yard will usually take them – check their opening times first.

Old valves

Metal radiator valves can usually go in with scrap metal. Put any plastic parts in your normal recycling if your council accepts them.

Packaging

Flatten any cardboard packaging and recycle it with your household recycling.

Large jobs

If you’re replacing several radiators, your plumber or a licensed waste carrier can take the old ones away for you.
