Although I rarely scrap appliances anymore, it was appliance scrapping / processing that gave me my start within the recycling industry. I started out scrapping appliances almost exclusively for three years full-time +
It all depends upon how far you want to strip them down? I used to go all the way.... I would even go into the refrigerators interior and remove the pure 100% Aluminum coil or evaporator (Like a minature radiator) I would harvest the wire and copper lines that go to the coil, the compressor, break the ice-makers down etc. It may seem like to much work for little pay-off, but once you have done enough you become so fast & efficient that will pay -off, and of course the neat thing about doing appliances is that once in a while you run into perfectely good units and/or you are able to repair them and re-sell them.
Yes that was certainely nice of your friend to do that for you....... Good luck scrapping
