How to Scrap a Dryer for Maximum Value

Recycling your old dryer can be a great way to make extra cash while helping the environment. Dryers are full of valuable metals like insulated copper wires, electric motors, and steel, which scrap yards buy every day. Using the iScrap App, you can easily find nearby scrap yards and check current dryer scrap values.

Where to Take Old Dryers

Finding a scrap yard near you is simple with the iScrap App’s Yard Locator Tool. Here’s how it works:

• Enter your location to see a list of nearby scrap yards.
• View their contact details to confirm pricing for dryers.
• Got a large load of dryers or other scrap? Use the Container Request Form to schedule a pickup.

Whether you’re clearing out old appliances or scrapping for a construction project, the iScrap App simplifies the process.

What Is A Dryer Worth?

The value of your dryer depends on:

1. Metal Content: Most dryers are bought as light iron, but their motors and copper wires can increase their value.
2. Scrap Yard Pricing: Each yard has different rates, so check current prices using the app.
3. Preparation: Removing non-metal parts (like control panels) can boost your payout.

Depending on market trends, typical dryers range in value from $5 to $20.

Tips to Maximize Your Dryer’s Scrap Value:

• Dismantle for Higher Payouts: Remove non-metal parts to isolate valuable metals like copper and aluminum.
• Separate Components: Scrap yards may pay extra for motors or wiring.
• Check Prices Before Selling: Use the iScrap App to find updated dryer scrap values and compare prices.

Why Recycle Your Dryer?

Recycling isn’t just about earning cash—it’s also about reducing waste. By scrapping your dryer, you’re keeping metals out of landfills and conserving resources. Many scrap yards accept dryers as-is or in dismantled form, so you can decide what’s easiest for you.
