Whiteware is the New Zealand term for large household appliances — washing machines, clothes dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers, ovens, and stoves. These items contain recoverable steel, copper wiring, aluminium components, and sometimes compressor motors. Fridges and freezers require special handling because they contain refrigerant gases that must be safely extracted before the appliance can be shredded. At endless metals in Auckland, we accept both gassed and de-gassed fridges and freezers alongside all other whiteware items. Whiteware is one of the easiest ways to recycle — instead of paying for a dump trip, bring your old appliances to the yard and get paid.
