Free drop-off means you can bring scrap metal to the yard at no charge — there is no gate fee, tipping fee, or processing fee deducted from your payment. This contrasts with transfer stations and landfills, which charge disposal fees. At endless metals in Auckland, free drop-off applies to all accepted materials at both our Onehunga and Wairau Valley yards. You drive in, unload, your material is weighed and graded, and you’re paid on the spot. No booking required. For whiteware and appliances, this is especially relevant — instead of paying to dump a fridge, you can recycle it for free and receive payment for the recoverable metal.
