Retirement villages & aged care
Upgrading? We'll take the old equipment.
Aged-care beds, hoists, wheelchairs, walkers, commercial kitchen stainless and steel furniture, collected from retirement villages and aged-care homes, recycled and reported. We plan the job around your residents. One service fee, quoted before we come.
What we take
Care equipment, kitchens and unit refits
Homes replace beds and hoists on a cycle. Villages refit units as residents move on and upgrade clubhouses, kitchens and gyms. Most of what comes out is steel, stainless or aluminium, and none of it should go to landfill.
- Aged-care & electric bed frames
- Bed rails & overbed tables
- Patient hoists & lifters
- Wheelchairs
- Walkers & rollators
- Shower chairs & commodes
- Trolleys & linen cages
- Stainless kitchen benches & sinks
- Ovens, ranges & dishwashers
- Fridges & freezers
- Lockers, shelving & compactus
- Steel furniture frames
- Gym & workshop equipment
- Fencing, gates & balustrades
We do the lifting
From rooms, corridors and lifts to the truck. We can dismantle bed frames and work around residents' routines and visiting hours, quoted when we confirm the job.
Inductions and screening
Tell us your induction, infection-control and screening requirements when you book. We plan the crew and the timing around them.
One number for the approval
The service fee is quoted before we come, so your operations or finance team has a fixed amount to approve.
Before we come
A short list, done by your team
Equipment that residents have used needs to be clean and safe to handle. These are the checks we ask for, the same ones we ask of hospitals.
Beds, hoists, wheelchairs and walkers
- Cleaned and signed off by your team, with our decontamination declaration signed.
- Batteries out of hoists, electric beds and mobility equipment. They travel separately from the metal, and we take the batteries too.
- Mattresses, bedding and soft furnishings removed so we collect the frames.
- Asset register updated on your side before disposal.
Kitchens, laundries and offices
- Emptied and cleaned: food, linen, files and resident records cleared out first.
- Fridges, freezers and air-conditioners degassed by an ARC-licensed technician before collection.
- Computers and servers have their drives removed or wiped, with the data declaration signed.
- No asbestos. Check your register before a refit. Older heaters, linings and fittings can contain it.

A record for every upgrade
Every collection crosses our weighbridge. You get a statement showing what was collected, what it weighed, what it became and the carbon avoided by not making that metal new, by site, by period or for a single refit.
- A statement for each collection and for any period
- All your homes and villages in one place, in Recycled Connect
- The method and sources for every saving, in plain sight
