Sometimes, people who are new to the scrap metal recycling concept find it hard to come up with items that can be recycled. Well, we are here to tell you that you don’t need to look very far. Essentially, anything that contains a motor can be recycled. It is true that the blades of the motor can be made up of various materials, like wood or plastic. However, the motor itself needs to be constructed from metal. So, if you have anything that has a motor in it, you can definitely take it to a scrap yard for recycling, but you may now find it hard to think about the items you may have that have a motor. Therefore, we have prepared this guide for you so you know some of the commonly recycled items with motors.
A motor's pump is one of the most recyclable parts of the machine. And luckily, pumps are found in so many different common household items. So, if that item with the pump doesn’t work anymore, recycling it would be a good option. They can be found in more minor items, like a fish tank, or larger ones, like a sump pump. Either way, most of these can be recycled, and let’s say that your sump pump doesn’t work anymore or your water pump doesn’t work anymore and you have to replace it. You can simply bring the old one to a scrap metal company instead of throwing it away.
This is a big category. Of course, when we mention fans, you think of the normal, freestanding fans, and those are also great options when it comes to recycling, especially if they are old and don’t work anymore. However, when we mean fans, we mean a great variety of items that include fans. This includes heaters, hair dryers, computers, leaf blowers, and many other small gadgets in your house.
Most households have a garage door opener instead of manually opening the garage door, and these are also operated by motors. So, when it’s time to replace your garage door, you don’t have to discard the old garage opener. Everything, including tracks and chains, is recyclable. Garage doors made of steel and aluminum can be recycled as well.
Most households have appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and dryers. It is true that these appliances have been used for many years, but none of them are completely immune to having problems. If the problem is with the motor, you can replace the motor or the unit. Whichever is your option, the appliance can be recycled.
Even though most of us don't give them much thought, metal is everywhere inside your kitchen, including the little appliances like blenders and more essential appliances like garbage disposal that work with motors.
