    Commercial stainless steel washing machines

    600 lbs with motor, 500 lbs without motor.

    Worth anything?

    Yes as is dirty stainless steel, or remove items and get clean stainless price.

    I would remove motor and sell as electric motor
    remove easy to get to clean stainless (non magnetic) and sell it
    the rest I would just sell as dirty stainless

    Stainless Steel price around here $.36
    Dirty Stainless $.19
    Electric Motor $.15

    I was supposed to remove and scrap one out of a hotel laundry room. Ended calling a company that rebuilds or parts them out got paid for removal and paid for the machine and didn't lift nothing but the phone.

    Depending on make/model/location those units go for $3-5 thousand new. Parts/repair a much more profitable choice than scrap. Most people know of junk yards for vehicles, but other industries including commercial dishmachines have repair techs looking for parts well above scrap prices. The wash/rinse arms alone might be worth more the the whole unit as scrap, let alone the motor, pump, circuit boards, etc.
