Rust Recycler Guide

Rust’s recyclers have seen various changes over the years, with two types of recyclers now existing. The recyclers can be used to convert components or other items into basic materials. Thus allowing you to obtain an abundance of materials by simply scavenging monuments or farming the roads. Follow along as we teach you about each type of recycler and their purpose.

Radtown Recycler

Rust’s Radtown Recycler is the stronger of the two recycler options. It works at 120% efficiency, granting the full amount of resources your component is worth. It also recycles much faster than its competitor at a rate of a cycle every 5 seconds. The Radtown Recycler can be found at most non-safe zone monuments, with their location varying monument to monument.

Safezone Recycler

The Safezone Recycler is the second of Rust’s two recycler types. It works at 80% efficiency, granting 2/3rds the resources of the Radtown Recycler. The recycler is found exclusively in the Outpost, Floating City, and Bandit Camp safe zones at various locations. It is the weaker of the two recyclers, breaking down items at a rate of one cycle every 8 seconds. While the Safezone Recycler is less rewarding, it offers a secure way to scrap your items.

Rusthub’s recycler tool is a helpful resource to see what your components stash is worth before recycling. The Rusthub tool allows you to input any combination of components, select the recycler type, and see the minimum, average, and maximum amount of resources you will receive. The advanced tool is extremely helpful to calculate the exact amount you wish to recycle so you don’t risk losing any unnecessary components.
