How much copper is in the microwave? - We rent a microwave oven for scrap

    Everyone encounters a situation where household appliances, including microwaves, become unusable over time. After several attempts at repairing a microwave oven, most people find it easier to throw it away or recycle it as scrap metal. Microwaves are valued even at scrap metal collection points because they contain a small amount of ferrous metal and, most importantly, copper in some components. Therefore, there's no need to rush to discard a microwave. It's much more profitable to dismantle it and recycle it as scrap metal. With extensive experience in buying scrap metal and dismantling a wide range of household appliances such as refrigerators, gas stoves, electric ovens, televisions, vacuum cleaners, refrigerator compressors, vacuum cleaner motors, laptops, hairdryers, curling irons, various types of wires and cables, power tools, drills, hammers, screwdrivers, angle grinders, our company's employees can accurately determine the quantity and presence of non-ferrous metals in various components and assemblies.

    As our company also provides various construction services, we extensively use tools that eventually become unusable due to heavy use. Therefore, such tools sometimes have to be recycled as scrap metal, with the ferrous metal separated from the copper. Although the amount of non-ferrous metal in the power tools may seem insignificant at first glance, considering the quantity that needs to be processed and recycled as scrap metal, it can ultimately amount to a substantial sum, which can be used to purchase new power tools or a new microwave for food preparation in the workplace.
