Metal Recycling

Metal recycling is vital for managing heavy, non-compactable materials like steel, aluminium, tin, copper, and brass offcuts. These materials should not go into general waste as they can be easily recycled if source-separated. WM New Zealand provides efficient metal recycling solutions, ensuring that your scrap metal is collected and processed responsibly.

Recycling metals conserves natural resources, reduces energy consumption, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with metal production. Our service helps businesses and households contribute to a more sustainable environment by keeping valuable metals out of landfills and reintroducing them into the production cycle.
