Is my medical equipment pickup free?

Many pickups are free. Whether your medical equipment pickup New Zealand job qualifies depends on four things:

  • The type of equipment and its recycling value
  • The number of items
  • Access at your site
  • How the job fits our route

Your quote tells you clearly whether the pickup is free or whether a small charge applies. You always know the cost before you book. There are no hidden fees.

What happens on pickup day

Our team arrives at the agreed time and checks the list with your contact person. We then protect floors and doorways where needed and load each item safely onto our vehicle.

Heavy and delicate items such as imaging units, analysers and freezers are moved with the right trolleys, straps and lifting equipment. Most medical equipment pickup New Zealand jobs are completed with minimal disruption to staff and patients.

Once the equipment reaches our Napier facility it is assessed for reuse, parts recovery or recycling. You then receive your recycling certificate.

Data and privacy

Many devices store patient data. We destroy data on every data bearing device and confirm this in writing. This supports your duties under the Privacy Act 2020 and the Health Information Privacy Code. The Privacy Commissioner explains these rules in detail.

Items we cannot collect

  • Hospital beds, bed frames and mattresses
  • X ray film and radiology film archives
  • Clinical waste, biohazard waste and sharps
  • Chemicals, solvents, reagents and fixatives
  • Samples, biological material and pharmaceuticals
  • Gas cylinders and liquid nitrogen
