Whiteware can contain some hazardous substances. Please recycle conscientiously.
This online article on the Ministry for the Environment website states that nearly 95% of whiteware is being recycled in New Zealand. Keep up the good work!
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.
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.
