Selling Scrap Radiators: All You Need To Know
Q: Are old radiators worth anything?
A: Absolutely! Radiators are one of the best sources of scrap non-ferrous metals. Since radiators transfer heat very well, they are constructed with high-quality metals like copper, aluminum, and even brass.
Q: What types of radiator metal do you buy?
A: The scrap value of your radiator unit depends on what it’s made of. These are the types of radiators we process at our Dallas, TX facility:
- Aluminum Radiators: Every car manufactured since 1980 uses aluminum radiators. Even though older radiators are heavier, aluminum radiators still provide high margins for high-volume scrap metal buyers.
- Copper and Brass Radiators: Found on older vehicles, heavy equipment, and industrial machines — copper radiators are one of the heavier-duty kinds you’ll find. This means your radiator scrap price per pound will be much higher than your run-of-the-mill aluminum radiator.
- Aluminum and Copper Fin: These convoluted cooling towers are what make up most HVAC units. Also known as AC reefers, these mixed-metal cans produce high volumes of recoverable refined metals.
Tip: Scrap Metal Prices change every day. The cleaner your radiator is — meaning that all the plastic and steel attachments have been removed — the higher your per-pound payout will be at the scale.

How to Sell Radiators for Top Dollar
While there’s not much prep work involved with recycling radiators, there are some things you can do to be sure you’re getting the highest aluminum radiator scrap price or copper payout.
Drain all fluids. Any fluid still in the radiator will require us to dispose of it ourselves. This is illegal — and because your scrap is considered “dirty,” you’ll greatly reduce your scrap value.
Remove all attachments. All plastic end shields, steel reinforcements, rubber hoses and cooling fans should be removed from your scrap radiator. Scrap yards only pay you for the metal they purchase, so the more steel and plastic attached to your copper or aluminum, the less you’ll get paid.
Separate your scrap loads. Got copper? Separate them from your aluminum, ASAP. This will not only save you time at the scale, but helps make sure you’re being paid the right price for your mixed loads.
DOs and DON’Ts for Selling Scrap Radiators
