Radiators are everywhere, in cars, trucks, utes, and even old home heating systems. And while they might’ve done their job and are no longer needed, they’re far from useless. In fact, radiators are one of the best types of scrap metal to recycle.
At Action Metal Recyclers, we make scrapping radiators simple, rewarding and worth your while. In this latest blog update from our scrap metal recycling team, we will be breaking down everything that you need to know about recycling radiators for cash. Let’s get started.
Why Radiators Are Great for Recycling
Most radiators are made almost entirely from metal, either aluminium, copper, or brass. That makes them perfect for scrap metal recycling. Whether they’ve come out of an old car or they’re from a building that’s been stripped out, radiators can be turned into cash fast.
The Types of Radiators We Buy:
- Copper Brass Radiators
Found in older vehicles. These include brass tanks and copper fins. They must be free of steel or other non-metal parts to be graded properly. - Aluminium Copper Radiators
Usually from air conditioning systems. These have aluminium cores and copper pipes. Again, any steel or plastic components will lower their grade. - Aluminium Radiators
Common in newer cars and some appliances. These need to be free from ferrous materials, plastic tanks, or rubber fittings.
If you’re not sure what type you’ve got, don’t stress. Bring it in and our friendly team will sort it out for you.
