Appliances are largely steel and are a common ferrous source. Washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, water heaters, and dryer drums come in from homes, rentals, and job cleanouts.
Most customers bring them whole. They are bulky but mostly ferrous metal once you get past the outer panels and any attached plastic or glass.
Some appliances need extra care. Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and other cooling units may contain refrigerant, and many appliances carry motors, compressors, and non-ferrous wiring. Because acceptance and prep depend on the specific unit, do not assume — check first.
Appliances are handled at DPR Scrap Metal, the ferrous yard at 125 Hopper St, Westbury, NY. Loads are weighed and graded in front of you, and pickups and roll-off containers are available for high-volume clean-outs.
Before you load any appliance — especially anything that cools — call (516) 280-9353 or send a photo so we can tell you how to handle it.
