    I am not sure what you mean by part them out so no I just scrap them - maybe I should look into parting them out... ??



    Most of the time I take out the copper wire, circuitboards and any non-ferrous if any present. I stopped taking out motors because more than half the time the motor contains no copper.

    I actually sold the heaviest washer to a person that works at the scrapyard nearest me, I think he must sell the parts. I hadn't stripped that one besides the power cord. He paid me a little more than I would have received for weight so i was happy to let it go for that.

    Now that I type out what actually happened and read it... I think I might have to take a good look at parting them out!
