About Refrigerators

Refrigerator Scrap Price Guide: Get Cash for Your Old Fridge

Refrigerators contain valuable materials like copper, aluminum, and steel, making them worth scrapping for cash. While removing components like copper pipes, sealed units, and wiring can increase your earnings, scrapping the entire refrigerator as is will still bring in money based on the current refrigerator scrap price. Prices vary depending on your location and the scrap yard, so it’s always a good idea to compare rates. 

Valuable Materials Inside Refrigerators

Refrigerators are made up of various materials that contribute to their scrap value. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most valuable parts:

  • Insulation—All refrigerators have some type of insulation to keep all of the cold air in and prevent the electric motor from constantly running.
  • Sealed Units—Industry professionals drain these units of oil and freon so they can be recycled and reused correctly.
  • Copper Wire– Whether the plug goes into the wall or some wires connect basic circuitry inside, always watch out for it.
  • Light Iron (Tin)—Most household refrigerators have light iron on the outside, but sometimes they could be stainless steel as well. Make sure to use your magnet.
