Handling everything from household whiteware and everyday e-waste like mobile phones and computers to industrial copper, aluminium, and steel, this Ōtāhuhu yard sits right on the narrow isthmus between the Manukau Harbour and the Tāmaki River. Part of a nationwide, Kiwi-owned network, the facility takes in scrap metals, metallic packaging, and batteries ranging from household cells to heavy industrial units, with plans underway to process solar panels. Being positioned amid south Auckland's manufacturing heartland means it is geared to process and export over 130 types of recovered metals directly out of the Auckland basin, diverting bulk materials away from landfill and cutting the demand for virgin resources.
Those dropping off scrap regularly single out Andy and his yard crew for running a quick, polite, and stress-free weigh-in, with several repeat visitors praising fair pricing and dependable help unloading in the yard. You will find them at 2 Beach Road in Ōtāhuhu, just a short drive from Middlemore Hospital. Final drop-offs are taken 15 minutes before closing unless arranged beforehand, and the site shuts on public holidays, Christmas, and Easter. Our reliable south Auckland pick when clearing out obsolete appliances or turning scrap into pocket money.
