    I am looking to sell quantities of used refrigerator compressors for scrap

    I am located in Spokane, Wash. and have presently about 5 gaylords per month. I can accumulate in my warehouse for larger quantities, if needed. Where might I get the best price for them? Thanks,

    Those can sometimes be difficult to get rid of.
    Also, posting your phone number on a Googlable web page is just asking for the phone bots to attack

    Ganna have to call local yards. I can get between .06 and .12 a lb. With that amount you should get bulk pricing. Also, they are not hard to get rid of. I actually sold 477 lbs of them this morning

    Our Sims pays 13 cents with a hole drilled and oil drained.
    Another place takes them as is no hole for 8 cents.
    I have a super basic setup where I can drill and drain in less than 1 minute each making an extra buck a minute.
    My draining rig is the top of a stove set on top of 4 buckets.
    I usually let them sit overnight.
    You can set up as many of those as you can find tops of stoves which are easy to get.
    Last time I took in 113 drained compressors, mostly fridges, few ACs and got $306 for them.

    Actually I don't drill. I take a grinder cut an X into the top (highest part) then a chisel and hammer and tap inwards one of those corners created by the X. My Sims loves them that way and everybody wins.
    I get 5 packs of grinder blades at harbor Freight for $4.99, sometimes cheaper with a coupon. I can cut about 15+ per blade. All considered incl the little extra cost and loss of weight from the oil I make pretty much exactly an extra buck each.

    I think FreonJoe is in that general location now. He buys them and cuts them up himself or has an "employee" do it if he is still doing that. I would buy them if I was closer, but I'm on the other side of the country. (next to the garbage state they call New Jersey). If you got a semi running out this way I would be willing to work out a price for you, but I may not be the highest price as I'm just a one man operation.
