    Stand up freezer copper removal

    I got a stand up freezer from a Chinese resteraunt.Luckily the compresser had pins so I didn't have to struggle with 4 bolts.I cut the easy copper out but what's the easiest way to get the copper that you can't see?Tia

    If its stainless, strip the stainless off of it. If not sell it as shred.

    Some to most freezers have hidden copper lines running in the foam that is under the plastic skin of freezer , each company chooses the positioning so just see where it enters in to body of freezer and hack away at plastic - inside - and chop some foam you will find it . On occasion they could be steel lines or AL / yes can go from copper to Steel or AL - transition .
