Range

This online article on the Ministry for the Environment website describes some of the environmental issues related to whiteware. 

Reuse and recycling of whiteware is considered environmentally preferable to landfilling, because landfilling:

• results in the loss of valuable materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals. To extract from landfill, process, assemble and transport these materials involves enormous amounts of resources
• places pressure on landfill space

Rather than buying new, a good second-hand range will be cheaper and better for the environment.

Instead of replacing a non-working range, see if it can be repaired. Try Appliance Repair Care or Murray's Appliance Repairs. 

On-sell your pre-loved range if in good working condition.

Donate to a good cause.

Whiteware can be recycled at the Whanganui Resource Recovery Centre (fees apply).

Please keep from landfill wherever possible.
