New Zealand’s nationwide recycling rules are great, but they can leave us wondering what to do with specific items like household metal waste. From batteries to appliances, New Zealand metal recyclers accept a wide variety of metals. Not only will you get rid of scrap metal, but you’ll get paid for doing it! Recycling your metals with these companies is a win for the environment and win for your wallet.
Remember Indi from our video with all those bottle tops?
Your local metal recycler can turn those bottle tops (and other metals) into valuable resources, such as building materials, roofing, electrical wiring, machinery and much more.
