Sealed Units
Got old compressors or sealed units taking up space? At Mid City Scrap, we accept sealed refrigeration and air conditioning units for recycling and offer competitive payouts based on the metal content. Whether you're a contractor, HVAC technician, or just clearing out old appliances, our Westport recycling facility is ready to help you turn sealed units into profit.
What Exactly Is a Sealed Unit?
A sealed unit is an airtight compressor that contains an electric motor and lubricating oil. These are the heavy, black-cased components that do the work in any cooling appliance. Their weight comes from a dense copper-wound motor inside a steel shell, making them a desirable item for scrap metal recycling once prepared correctly.
The Critical First Step: Draining Refrigerants
By law, all refrigerants like Freon must be evacuated from the unit by a certified technician before it can be accepted by any recycling company. This is a critical environmental and safety step. We cannot accept units that still contain refrigerant. Please ensure this is done professionally before visiting our facility.
