Return scrap jewellery to a Scheideanstalt

Keep old gold in the loop instead of a drawer

Norddeutsche Edelmetall Scheideanstalt in Norderstedt (with Hamburg and Buxtehude desks) buys and refines scrap jewellery, dental gold, and silverware. Consumers book a drop-off; the plant recovers gold, silver, platinum, and palladium for new craft and industry — classic urban mining without a landfill detour.

What you can do

  • Book a drop-off via Terminbuchung (appointment required)
  • Bring old jewellery or dental scrap; read Goldschmuck Ankauf first
  • Ask whether you want cash or refined metal returned for a remake with a local goldsmith

How it works

The Scheideanstalt assays and separates metals in closed processes using secondary feedstock only. Recycled fine metal re-enters jewellery and industry supply.

Why it matters

Every gram recovered at home is a gram that need not leave a new scar on a distant hillside.
