Electric Motor Recycling
Electric Motor Recycling is popular because of their weight and because they usually contain copper wire. Almost anything that requires electricity and has moving parts will have an electric motor inside.
Common household places to find electric motors are in items like vacuums, computers, ceiling fans, air conditioners, washing machines, blowers, and electronics.
Industrial items that contain electric motors include transformers, pumps, machinery, and manufacturing equipment.
Electric motors are common in automobiles, found in starters, alternators, and generators.
