    Is it worth it.

    assuming you mean 30-40,000 #'s, you could get $4000 to $6000 shred... each. This would be minus the extremely large forklift and truck bed to haul it if you cannot break it down at the site. And the cost of your time

    would get quite a bit above that if you do some small sorting, grab copper, get condensers, separate motor, etc.

    Do it and report back. best way to tell. No risk isn't profitable, all risk is dangerous.


    My method would be to take very conservative guesses on the matetial makeup of the unit (put the highest weight percentages in the lowest paying categories). Base your decision off of that number, you should be happy you low balled your estimate if you do scrap it.

    In this case "Ton" is the cooling rating/capacity, not weight.
