I was reading an article about scrapping AC's. In the following thread people were
asking if it was worth it to remove the copper tubing from an aluminum copper radiator
to make more money. The answer, if any of you haven't figured it out by now, is no.
first the remaining aluminum fins you get (if you manage to separate them) wont be
Taken by the scrap yard because aluminum that thin just flashes off in the furnace, so it
isn't worth anything. Second on lets say a 30 pound radiator, only 3 pounds of it (if your lucky)
will be copper either #1 or #2 copper depending on the yard and if it has any soder. At $.90/lb
for Al cu rads you'll get $27. For 3 pounds of #2 copper, you'll get a measly $4.50. So why
Would you throw away $22.50?
