The stainless drums from Amana machines work very well for this. As a business, we have been selling them for years now.
1. Remove the refrigerant with a reclaimer. A 300 lb tank of R-12 can yield over $2000. Of course, you need your refrigerant handling license.
2. Cut out all copper lines. There is also a "sausage"...

I would be very interested in learning how to identify these caps. I've looked around a bit and can't find any solid info on identification. Anyone have any pointers?
If you have access to a sawz-all and a vice, Its great to stick the rad in the center, saw the copper macaronis off, and hammer off the steel ends. Totally worth doing especially if you go through a...
Great thank you for this!
We just received a newer fridge in our intake and discovered there is something called "Cyclopentane" in it which appears to be better blowing agent for the environment. I need to to know whether...

I got an email from a representative of Guzu.com the other day. They have a strange business model that involves the client sending them a large amount of electronics. They sell the working items on...
A major part of our day is spent recycling refrigerators and AC/Dehumidifiers. The first step is investing in a machine to reclaim the freon in a proper way. Your going to need a tank as well,...
Just opened up a dryer the other day and outside the steel drum in the cabinet, there we about 25 thongs bunched up. That dryer sure had an appetite lol.
If any of you find watches, as hobo finds did, you can sell the gears in them for a whole lot more than the actual watch is worth in scrap value. There is a sub culture out there called cyber-punk...

Ozzy, sorry but I think the best thing we can do is use the quad cores for our work staff. They are definitely business oriented pcs anyways so you might not want them anyways. We have 3 Dell Vostro...
Thanks everyone for the great ideas. We receive a large volume of PCs so any cheap and cost effective way to go about it would be a huge help. Im leaning right now towards trying out the method that...
So we have been working for a while on an account with a bank. Today it finally showed its fruit and we received a load of about 50 computers and monitors. 4 of them are quad core desktops and the...
Well it is definitely a silver alloy. I just used a torch to heat up the solder and the pieces fell right off. By the weight alone, I can say with certainty that it is not aluminum. Thanks for the...
Thanks a bunch man. I wasn't sure if it was aluminum or silver and I didn't wanna make a stupid mistake lol.
I received about 30 or so transformers and as we were going through them, we founds these in there. I dont know how a transformer actually works but I was suspecting the silvery metal on them to be...
We tend to shy away from buying appliances as we get so many in for free anyways. Between all the accounts we have from the Duluth/Superior area, we have our work cut out for us. However if the...
