Scrap electric motors & alternators in Birmingham

Copper-wound electric motors and alternators from HVAC, shops, vehicles and equipment.

Electric motors and alternators carry copper windings inside a steel or aluminum housing. That copper is why they pay better than plain steel.

Copper wound

Electric Motors

Motors from AC units, pumps, compressors, fans, tools and equipment. Copper-wound motors bring more than aluminum-wound ones.

Alternators scrap at Rather Recycling in Birmingham, AL
Automotive

Alternators

Car and truck alternators, whole or in pieces. A steady earner for mechanics, shops and parts-car pullers.

Bring them whole

There's no need to tear motors down. Drain any oil, knock off loose attachments that aren't part of the motor, and bring them in as-is.

Where these come from

  • HVAC and refrigeration replacements
  • Shop and plant maintenance changeouts
  • Auto repair and salvage
  • Old appliances, pumps and power equipment

Common questions

Do you buy alternators?

Yes. We buy alternators whole. Bring them in with your other scrap and we'll weigh and grade them.

Do I need to take electric motors apart?

No. Bring electric motors whole. Drain any oil first and remove loose attachments that aren't part of the motor.
