Got an old radiator lying around? Whether it’s from a vehicle or an outdated home heating system, radiators are a great item to recycle. At Action Metal Recyclers in Oxley, we are here to help turn your scrap into cash, and radiators are a prime example.
Here’s why recycling radiators is both environmentally smart and an easy way to make some extra cash, and how you can get it done with us.
Why Recycle Radiators?
Radiators are made almost entirely of recyclable metals, like copper, brass, and aluminium. These metals have significant scrap value, making radiators an ideal item to recycle. Recycling them also helps conserve natural resources and reduce emissions since reusing metals is far less energy-intensive than mining new ones. Plus, you can earn some extra cash for your scrap.
Types of Radiators We Accept
At our Oxley scrap metal recycling facility, we accept several types of radiators, each with different metal compositions. Here’s a quick overview:
- Copper Brass Radiators: These are usually found in older vehicles and contain brass tanks and copper fins. As long as they’re free of ferrous (iron-containing) materials, they can be classified as “clean” and earn a higher price.
- Aluminium Copper Radiators: Common in air conditioning units, these radiators have aluminium bodies with copper cooling lines. To keep their value high, make sure they’re free of any ferrous attachments.
- Aluminium Radiators: Fully aluminium radiators are typical in newer vehicles and HVAC units. They’re easy to recycle as long as they’re clean and free of plastics or other contaminants.
If you’re not sure which category your radiator fits into, our friendly staff in Oxley can help identify it and ensure you get the best price for your scrap.
