REBRI Resource Recovery Metal: Collection and Transportation (PDF)
This guide provides good practice advice to improve recovery rates for all types of metal from construction and demolition (C&D) sites.
The aim is to assist the resource recovery industry to provide collection and transportation services that:

- meet the requirements of the construction or demolition client and the recycling operator
The metal recycling industry in New Zealand is well established. This guide is not about how to process or recycle metal, but gives tips on providing a collection and transportation service that suits the demands of the building industry.
