Selling On A Saturday?

Saturdays can be busy at Metalcorp!

If you're planning to visit us on a Saturday, please ensure you arrive by 11:30am - this gives our team the time they need to 'weigh and pay' you for your metals.

Customer's arriving after 11:30am may not be able to be served.

Important things to note:

• Our Ashburton branch is open from 9am - 12pm on Saturdays
• We are closed on Public Holidays
• If a public holiday falls on a Friday, our yards will be closed the Saturday after

Waste Levy Fee

We are aware that many of our competitors apply a charge (or disposal fee) to purchases of light grade dirty/shredder feed materials and vehicles to help to cover the cost of the waste levy that is applied to floc disposal at landfill.

The waste levy makes up only a portion of the actual cost of floc disposal and since the waste levy was first introduced in 2021, we have endeavoured to absorb the cost of this levy as best we can, choosing not to apply a similar charge to our suppliers.

Unfortunately, with the upcoming rise to the waste levy on the 1st July 2024 to $60.00/T (and the newly announced decision that the waste levy will continue to increase over the next two years to $75.00/T) this is no longer a sustainable option for us.

Therefore, as of the 1st August 2024, we will be applying a ‘waste disposal fee’ of $30.00/T to all purchases of lightgrade dirty/shredder feed and vehicles.

We appreciate that this is a new approach and that our suppliers may take some time to adjust to this new practice, so if we can assist in any way, please let us know.

It will be a new process for our administrative team as well, so please be patient with us as they work to implement this new fee as smoothly as possible.

Please note that Metalcorp continues to work with industry groups in lobbying the government regarding the impact that the waste levy rate is having on metals recycling. Should we be successful in our efforts to secure a lower levy rate for wastes produced from a recycling process then we will move to pass these on to our suppliers.
