Whole Units, As They Are

WE BUYSCRAP APPLIANCES
Washers, dryers, fridges, and dishwashers each hide the same valuables: electric motors, compressors, wiring harnesses, and copper tube. A fridge holds a compressor plus copper lines. Property turnovers and estate cleanouts generate them by the truckload. If you haul old appliances, you are hauling copper.

WHAT IT IS, PLAINLY SAID
The copper hiding in the laundry room.
Open the back of any major appliance and the copper shows up fast. Washers and dryers carry drive motors with copper windings. Refrigerators and freezers carry a sealed compressor, the same copper-wound motor in a steel can, plus copper refrigerant lines. Dishwashers add pump motors and heating elements. Units run 50 to 250 pounds each, and cleanouts run to truckloads.
Motors & Compressors
Every unit hides at least one copper-wound motor or compressor.
Cleanouts Welcome
Estate cleanouts, evictions, and remodels: truckloads are normal.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Asked by people holding this material.
Do appliances need to be working?
No. Working or dead, it does not change the scrap deal: the copper inside is the same either way.
What about the refrigerant in fridges and freezers?
It must be recovered by a certified technician before scrapping, as the law requires. We buy the metal: refrigerant handling stays with the licensed tech.
I only have one old washer. Is it worth calling?
Yes. There are no minimums and every unit counts. One appliance still gets a fast quote.
Do you take the doors and shelves off fridges?
Send them as they are. Doors, shelves, and all: nothing needs to come off first.
Should I strip the motors out first?
You do not need to. Whole units are welcome and the copper math is built into the quote.
We clean out properties every week. Can this be recurring?
Yes. Cleanout crews and property managers with steady volume can set up a collection rhythm: stack them, call, and the units move on your schedule.
What about small countertop appliances?
They are welcome in a mixed load, but the copper value lives in major appliances: washers, dryers, fridges, and dishwashers. A microwave’s transformer and a toaster’s elements are small by comparison, so major appliances are where the weight is.
NO MINIMUMS
Those old appliances are copper.
