Beartown Recycling
Mixed appliance and steel scrap at the Beartown Recycling yard

Ferrous materials

Appliance scrap

Washers, dryers, water heaters, and ranges are mostly steel with a motor inside. We take them, with one condition.

What we buy

Appliances we take

No Freon-bearing units unless the refrigerant has been professionally removed and the unit tagged to show it.

  • Washers & dryers
  • Ranges & ovens
  • Water heaters
  • Dishwashers
  • Microwaves
  • Grills
  • Metal shelving
  • Filing cabinets

Why Freon is the dividing line

Refrigerant has to be recovered by a certified technician before a sealed-system appliance can be scrapped. That is a regulatory requirement rather than a yard preference, which is why we cannot take those units without proof it has been done.

Everything else comes in as ordinary ferrous scrap. Bring it loose or in a container and we will help you unload.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Only if the Freon has already been professionally removed and the unit is tagged to show it. Without that we cannot accept it.

No, it can stay in. If you do pull it out, keep it separate. Motors contain copper and grade on their own.
