Electric Motors Scrap

How We Grade Motor Scrap

Not every motor is priced the same — grading depends on size, material mix and condition. Here’s how we sort what comes through the gate:

Standard Electric Motors

Clean, uncontaminated units in typical working or non-working condition — this covers the bulk of what most households and tradies bring in.

Compressors

Found in fridges, air conditioners and air tools, compressors pressurise gas or air and are graded on their own due to their sealed construction and metal ratio.

Transformers

These step voltage up or down for AC-powered gear. Because they're wound differently to a standard motor, they're weighed and priced as a separate category.

Heavy Industrial Motors

Bigger commercial and industrial units command a stronger large electric motor scrap price, simply because there's more copper winding and steel bulk packed inside.

Aged or Non-Working Motors

Whether a motor still runs or seized up years ago makes no difference to us — old electric motors scrap value is based on the metal content, not whether it still switches on.

Electric Motors FAQs ------

Frequent Asked Questions

Is it worth scrapping electric motors?

In most cases, yes. Copper alone makes it worthwhile, and steel and aluminium components add further value. The only motors barely worth the trip are very light plastic units with minimal wire content.

How do I scrap an electric motor?

You can bring it in whole — we'll weigh and grade it as-is. If you're after a bigger return, stripping the copper coil out beforehand means it gets priced at the higher copper rate instead of the blended motor rate.

How do I take apart an electric motor for scrap?

Pop off the end caps to reach the rotor and stator, then pull the copper winding free from the steel core. Separate out any aluminium housing too — sorting the metals yourself before drop-off usually improves your total.

Are small electric motors worth scrapping?

Do you buy scrap electric motors in bulk?

I was 5min late Universal  Scrap had closed all the staff were in there car leaving and the one gentlemen said a f⁹ew words in another language and drove of Immediately.

My head dropped seeing I had my car loaded they decided to open the scrap yard and let me unload my scrap. I was so happy. I ask who the man was that drove of they said it was there boss and he's the  reason why they stayed behind because he is a great employee. That's respect there prices are very compatible and overall a great experience.
Iÿ recommend anyone scrapping to go and visit Universal Scrap Metal and experience great customer service from boys who enjoy there job and a work ethic that's want to please there  boss.
