What Do You Do With a Stuffed Blender in Christchurch
Blenders usually die in a pretty predictable way.
The jug breaks first.
Someone drops it in the sink.
It cracks.
The blade assembly gives up.
Or it splits after years of getting knocked around in the kitchen.
Now you’ve got a blender base sitting there with no jug.
And that’s basically the end of it.
The motor might still run.
But without the jug it’s useless.
So the base gets pushed to the side of the bench.
And that’s where the problem starts.
The Half-Blender Situation
Once the jug is gone, the base becomes one of those awkward things nobody knows what to do with.
It’s not really normal rubbish.
But it’s not useful anymore either.
So it gets moved somewhere else.
Cupboard.
Pantry.
Garage shelf.
Laundry bench.
You see it everywhere.
A lonely blender base sitting there with no jug.
We See This All the Time
Doing rubbish pickups around Christchurch you see this constantly.
Someone clears out a cupboard or pantry.
And there it is.
A blender base with no jug.
Usually sitting beside a few other appliances that stopped working years ago.
Dead kettle.
Old toaster.
Coffee machine that packed up.
None of them are huge items.
But they sit around the house for ages because nobody ever gets around to dealing with them.
Can You Put a Blender in the Bin?
Technically a blender base might fit in the red rubbish bin.
But most people don’t like doing that.
Bins are already full with a week’s worth of normal household rubbish.
And an appliance like that can take up a big chunk of the bin space.
So instead it usually ends up sitting somewhere in the house waiting for someone to deal with it later.
What Usually Happens
Most of the time the blender doesn’t get dealt with on its own.
It goes out when someone finally clears out a few things around the house.
Old kitchen appliances.
Stuff in the cupboard that hasn’t been used for years.
Things that stopped working ages ago.
That’s usually when the blender base finally disappears.
Getting Rid of a Stuffed Blender
If you’ve got a blender base sitting around with no jug, the easiest option is usually just getting rid of it when other small appliances go.
Instead of figuring out which bin it belongs in, it can simply be removed with other household appliances.
You can organise that through Small Appliance Removal Christchurch.
That way it gets taken away properly instead of sitting in the cupboard for another couple of years.
We get asked all the time do you also pickup whiteware of course we do.
