Metal recycling involves heavy materials, specialized machinery, and hazardous waste, making health and safety a critical priority. At Sky Metal Recyclers, we maintain strict safety and compliance protocols to protect our employees, customers, the environment, and the wider community.

Handling copper scrap, aluminum, and other metals requires appropriate equipment and trained professionals. Battery recycling is particularly sensitive due to chemical and environmental risks. As EPA-approved battery exporters and licensed exporters of Dangerous Goods, we follow approved containment, handling, and disposal procedures to prevent contamination, exposure, and environmental harm.

Our safety and compliance practices include:

• Regular staff training and safety inductions

• Mandatory use of personal protective equipment (PPE)

• Compliance with all New Zealand workplace health and safety regulations

• Safe handling, storage, and transport systems for scrap metals and batteries

• Certified processes for Dangerous Goods export and battery recycling

We maintain up-to-date knowledge of regulatory requirements and industry best practices, ensuring full compliance with environmental, safety, and export standards. Risk minimisation is embedded into our daily operations—from material handling and site activities to logistics and export procedures.

Safety at Sky Metal Recyclers goes beyond compliance. It reflects our ethical responsibility to protect people, preserve the environment, and deliver reliable, professional recycling services. By operating responsibly and transparently, we enable our clients to safely recycle scrap and still receive top prices for metal and battery scrap in Auckland—without compromise or risk.
