PVC Guttering

Can PRNZ recycle it? Yes.

Why? Guttering is typically manufactured from rigid PVC which can be recycled.

How should I prepare it for recycling?

  • Remove brackets and fixings.
  • Remove sealants where possible.
  • Keep separate from mixed demolition waste.

What happens next? The PVC is processed and converted into recycled raw material.

Top Tip - Long lengths are generally easier to identify and process than heavily fragmented material.
