    Refrigerator Compressor Break Down!

    Thought I would post this for those who are seeing whether breaking down compressors is worth it or not.

    Begin Weight: 19 lbs 2 oz
    Begin Value: 19 lbs 2 oz @ .15 cents per pound = $2.87

    End Metal Weight 17 lbs 6.5 oz
    End Metal Value = 17 lbs 6.5 oz @ .10.5 cents per pound = $1.83
    End Copper Weight = 1 lbs 11.6 oz
    End Copper Value = 1 lbs 11.6 oz @ $3.30 per pound = $5.69



    Approx. Wear On Blade and Grinder = .35 cents

    Total Profit = $4.30

    You can easily do 4 of these in and hour. with practice you could probably do up to 10 in 1 hour. So if you like to work for a minimum of $17.30 an hour, you are throwing away money if you dont break them down Hope this helps some people out.
