Free Bins for a Seamless Electric Motor Scrap Collection
One of the first problems people face when it comes to recycling is collecting and transferring the scrap to designated facilities. The struggle is the same whether you are a normal household or a large industrial enterprise. It takes significant effort, time, and money. However, we are happy to say that we’ve solved this problem.
At Union Metal Scrap, we provide free bins to large corporations to collect the electric motor scrap generated on the premises. Once it gets filled, our collectors will come, clear it off seamlessly, and leave behind the empty bins once again. It’s a process that will go on for as long as you want.
Pick Up or Drop Off: We’re Ready Either Way
We provide pick-up services for your electric motor scrap if they reach a certain amount. It will remove the burden of transporting from you while meeting your recycling needs regularly. However, if it is just one piece of residential aircon or a washing machine, we expect you to drop it off at our warehouse in Sunshine, Victoria during business hours (8 AM to 8 PM).
Working after hours and on weekends is another great benefit we provide our clients, but prior scheduling is essential. You can simply call and fix an appointment at your convenience.
Get the Best Electric Motor Scrap Price
Electric motors are unlike any other ordinary scrap, as they often take more than just dumping in a bin. They need to be dismantled, sorted by material, valued suitably, and recycled adequately. Therefore, working with an expert with significant experience is key here.
After discussing your recycling needs and preferences, we will start by grading your motor scrap. The general grades are contaminated, non-contaminated, and high-grade scraps. The first grade includes electric motors with excess foreign materials (such as plastic or wood), the second one includes motors that are free of foreign materials, and the last one refers to the alternators or starter motors found in vehicles. Segregating the scrap into these three categories will make recycling easier and quicker for both parties.
The separated scrap will now be weighed to determine its fair value. Electric motor scrap price varies from day to day, but we will be sure to pay you the current price in the market. If all goes well, this can become a long-term collaboration. Contact us today if you wish to get started as soon as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Electric motor scrap is full of valuable and diverse metals that can be recovered and reused. The most common metals include -
- Copper (used in windings due to its excellent conductivity)
- Aluminum (found in windings and casings as a cost-effective alternative to copper)
- Steel (frequently present in the motor’s casing and rotor)
In high-performance motors, you can even find rare earth metals like neodymium and Dysprosium. Every metal is valuable and useful in various industries. Therefore, it is always wise to consider recycling your electric motor scrap.
It varies from facility to facility. At Union Metal Recycling, we try our best to accommodate as many recycling needs as possible, regardless of the quantity. The only rule we have is that if the quantity is large, we can offer pick-up services for a charge; otherwise, we need you to drop off the scrap at our warehouse in Sunshine, Victoria. Call us to find out your course of action.
No. Not much preparation is needed from your end. You simply have to let us know your requirements and we will handle the rest.
However, it would be helpful if you could remove any non-metal attachments, such as plastic covers and rubber mounts, to the motors beforehand. It will simplify the whole process for both of us. Still, if you don’t have the tools or knowledge, leave it as it is. We can handle it.
The scrap will go through a dismantling process where components like copper windings, steel, and aluminium are separated. The segregated metals are then melted and refined for reuse.
- Metallic Parts - Applied in manufacturing new products, such as wiring, machinery parts, or even new motors.
- Non-metallic parts (e.g. Insulation) - Either repurposed, recycled, or disposed of responsibly to minimize environmental impact.
This process helps conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and support a circular economy by turning scrap into valuable raw materials.
Absolutely. Businesses and industries require this service the most, as they tend to generate a lot of metal waste. Handling such huge amounts of scrap without considering recycling can easily turn into a disaster.
