Some places will pay more for the compressor separately. The main place I go to does that. I personally cut them open, remove the electric motor then remove the windings. Then you have number 2 copper, and the compressor shell goes into the steel pile. I have removed enough windings from fridge compressors to have filled two 5 gallon buckets full of number 2 copper.
