Old Units

How do you dispose of old units, Do you remove coils, copper ect, or just scrap them in one piece? how much difference does it actually make?

one piece you pay them, coils w/ steel attached ok money, coils w/ steel cut off. real good money, plus the u bends are #2 copper so more money still.

we cut out the coils and dump the guts and cases in the metal dumpster.

yeah i usually just take bout the coil as is. you usually get less than #2 that way but if you have a lot of coils its still worth the trip

I cut out the coils and copper. remove refridg. all flat metal and compressors I sell for general weight at the metal yard. The copper and coils I sell to the metal yard too. You get more $$ for #1 copper (no soder joints)

It takes time and a bunch of sawz-all blades. But what else do I have to do I think it is worth the $$$

Thats pretty much what I've been doing when time allows,
Kinda sad that a CrackHead will destroy a condenser for 30 or 40 dollars, Even less than that if they get a spiral tube.

try milwakee's ice edge blades they are alot tougher. I cut up 550 lbs of coils with 1 blade tonight! a 5 pk cost me $35 at the welding supply house. $7 investment for a 4 figure return
