    Compressors

    Hello all, I just started scrapping stuff about 6 months ago for extra cash. My Job is for a ice machine and refrigeration distributor. Being so we have to process all warranty for these machine. Before I started taking them they company threw away all the warranty parts after the 90 hold period. I started taking them to scrap for extra cash, I talked to the manager about it, its all good. SO, right now I have about 25 large compressors to scrap. I have already drained them and cut them open. My question is....the casing can recycle as iron #1 I think, and the copper wire is worth pulling out. But has anyone scrap these before and know if there is anything else worth value? I am cutting them open, pulling the motors out then removing the copper winding from the motor. Cut the copper out and throw the rest aside. SO is that it? Just scrap the copper and the rest as mixed? Thanks for advice! Finding this forum to have some good advice for someone that just started.
