Our team at McSteel Salvage & Clean-up specializes in metal salvaging, including materials like aluminum, brass, copper, and – you guessed it- scrap electric motors.

What Electric Motors Can Be Recycled?
Almost every type of electric motor can be recycled! Whether you’re looking to toss an outdated household appliance or more heavy-duty items like industrial machinery, the primary materials used to create these devices can be repurposed and applied to other uses. Better yet, most of these materials have market value, allowing you to make some extra cash when you bring your motor into our scrap yard! Some common motor types include:
AC Motors: Household appliances like air conditioners, fans, and refrigerators run on AC motors and contain recyclable metals like aluminum and copper.
DC Motors: These contain magnets and copper wiring used in farmyard equipment, power tools, and electric cars.
Industrial Motors: Larger-scale items like heavy-duty machinery and manufacturing equipment run on industrial motors.
Universal Motors: If you have a vacuum or power drill to get rid of, these devices use a universal motor, which can run on either AC or DC power.
If you’re looking to recycle one or more of these electric motor types, our team at McSteel can make it happen!
