More collection dates available now

2023-04-12

In response to demand we’ve increased the amount of refrigerant collection dates at our Pattons collection sites.

Make sure you drop your refrigerant off before these dates to get them included in those collection runs.

If you're in Christchurch, Auckland or Wellington you can still use our Pattons direct drop off service too - your cylinder should be emptied within five working days.

We also offer a free courier collection service if there isn't a collection site near you - please email Ben Fechney our Collection Services Business Development Manager to discuss the best option for you.

And don't forget we're also now offering $25 per kg of refrigerant collected - why wouldn't you?
