Hey, what's up fellow scrap-a-holics?1 This is Face1 and what I'm trying to decide is the pros and cons of breaking down a nice sized ac I received.
A: As a new scrapper what is the advantage of breaking it down verses tossing it in with the other metals and getting paid by the total weight, besides the values of the other elements within the ac?
the two "radiators" go as al/cu (.50/#?), the compressor goes at .25/#, the motors go at .25/#, some copper wire .90/#, some plastic trash, and some shred.Quote:

make sure you properly dispose of the refridgerant.
With this you have about doubled your intakeQuote:

Besides the fact that some (most/all?) scrap yards wont take air conditioners. You'd need to remove the freon.
Definitely did break it down and came out better. Really was helpful, thanks.
what did you do with the freon??Quote:
