Utuhina — Your Questions Answered
Do I have to be home for the Utuhina pickup?
It's best if you are, so we can hand over payment and complete the disposal notice — but if you can't be, give us a call and we'll work something out.
Do you pay more than a scrap metal yard in Utuhina?
Usually yes — a metal yard pays only for weight, while we also pay for the salvageable parts in your Utuhina vehicle, which is where much of the value sits.
Is the recycling eco-friendly?
Yes — every vehicle is depolluted and recycled to New Zealand environmental standards, with reusable parts salvaged.
