Metal Scrap Recycling — The Bigger Picture

Environmental Benefits of AC Recycling

Recycling old air con units has real environmental impact. Instead of ending up in landfill where materials are wasted and refrigerant can leak, we dismantle units responsibly and recover:

 

 

  • Steel and other metals are reused in manufacturing
  • Refrigerant is recovered and handled per environmental law — not released into the atmosphere
  • Dangerous materials (compressor oils, electrical components) are processed safely

 

By selling your old AC unit to us instead of dumping it, you’re supporting a circular economy and reducing environmental harm. Plus, you get paid for it.

Copper and aluminium are melted and used to make new products — cars, building materials, electronics

How AC Unit Removal Works

Step 1: Contact Us

Call 08 7225 9998, email info@sacopperscraps.com.au, or fill out our form. Tell us: how many units, what type (split, ducted, window), rough size, and current condition (working/broken). No need to be exact.

Step 2: Instant Quote

We'll estimate the scrap material value based on unit type and size. For residential units, you're typically looking at $50-$200+ in scrap value, depending on the system. We give you a ballpark figure upfront.

Step 3: Same-Day Removal

Book a time and our team will arrive ready to work. We safely disconnect the unit (if connected to refrigerant lines), carefully remove it, and load it onto our vehicle. The whole process is professional and efficient.

Step 4: On-Site Assessment

Once loaded, we assess the actual materials content and condition. We calculate the final scrap value based on current metal rates. Everything is transparent.

Step 5: Paid Immediately

Receive payment on the spot — cash or bank transfer. Job done, property cleared, money in your pocket. No follow-ups, no waiting.
