What is Scrap Metal and White-ware Recycling?
Scrap metal is left over from both product manufacturing and consumption. It can include items such as galvanised roofing iron, tyre rims, beams, unwanted pots and pans. Rusted fencing wire is not usually accepted by recyclers, and may go into landfill. Whiteware recycling is also a form of scrap metal and includes unwanted appliances such as washing machines, ovens, fridges, freezers, microwaves and dishwashers and keep these out of the inorganic collection and landfill.The more frequently recycled metals are steel, iron, lead, aluminium, copper and stainless steel and there are two main categories of metals, these are ferrous (contain iron, are attracted to magnets) and non-ferrous.

Resource Rescue ( the company ) was a social enterprise established in 2015 and operated in Glen Innes Auckland at that time. We are not associated with them in any way and do not know if they still exist. The purpose of this website is to showcase Appliance Recycling plus a few other small companies. We can not assist with any queries to do with them.
