Benefits of Recycling Electric Motors
Electric motors, found in everything from washing machines to industrial equipment, are packed with valuable copper windings, steel laminations, and sometimes aluminium housings.
Rather than letting old or faulty motors gather dust in a shed or workshop, recycling them recovers these materials and puts them back into productive use.
- Recovers dense copper windings, one of the most valuable materials in any motor
- Reclaims steel laminations and aluminium housings for further processing
- Reduces landfill waste from household and industrial appliance turnover
- Cuts demand for newly mined copper and steel
- Turns old, broken, or obsolete motors into a straightforward cash return
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need to remove the motor from the appliance first?
It’s not essential, but removing the motor from the surrounding appliance beforehand can make weighing and grading quicker and may improve the price.
How are electric motors priced?
Motors are priced based on their size, weight, and the mix of copper, steel, and aluminium they contain, assessed against current market rates for each metal.
Do you buy large industrial motors?
Yes, we accept motors of all sizes, including larger industrial units. For particularly large or heavy motors, contact us in advance to arrange collection if needed.
Are motors from air conditioners accepted?
Yes, provided any refrigerant has been safely recovered by a licensed technician beforehand, motors from air conditioning units are accepted.
