Fall cleanup is coming and I was hoping to compile a good list of prices on average you can expect to get for items. Here in town the dump charges $10 per appliance to get rid of them and the scrap yard takes them for free. If I break them down how much can I expect to make? I know there are variables but a rough idea would be great. Also, explain anything that would be needed to scrap this item, such as remove freon, drain fluids... exc....
If I pick up grills and find case aluminum... does it have to be cleaned and degrease to turn in? If so, how do you do this quickly?
so. Price list. When you drive by and see this you think... look, there's a ____ and it's worth $XXX in scrap!
Complete Computer CPU - $10 -$14
Computer Monitor - $5 (but then you have to dispose of the tube)
Stove Gas - steel price/ weight
Stove Electric - steel price /weight
Grill - $5 - $45 depending on size and type (found on the web)
Refrigerator - $20 (thanks newattitude)
AC unit - $5 (thanks Scrap man)
Washer- $15 (thanks Hobo)
Dryer - $20 - $25 (Thanks dryvr12)
Mower riding - $30 (thanks newattitude)
Cars - Dumb question. depends on weight and how much you want to strip out.
Car battery $6-$10
These prices are just a range. As noted below, there are many many variables and the value will increase more if you break things down all the way to get all motors and brass out. It all depends on what your yard pays.
Also, keep in mind AC units and fridges should have the freon drained correctly. This can cost more then they are worth. Check with your yard to see if they take these items and if you need to prove with paperwork this was done correctly.
Thanks to everyone that helped with this list.
