O.K. My washing machine croaked. My schedule is hectic so rather than fix it I bought new. Put old one in yard. Woman stops and asks for it. I hesitated and took her#. She picked up today with big grin. Are they worth that much?

Lots of metal to recycle or use? Possible to fix? Parts for one they have? The tub makes a good trough for animals.

How much are they worth to scrap?

Depending on the part of the country and specs on the machine, I'd estimate that the scrap is worth $10-15 or so.

Thank you for the information. We have several yards in our area (Western NY) I was on fence with saving for more however having no garage and just buying my house I'm trying to be a good neighbor and keep my property nice.
Any compensation would not justify time or travel for one machine. Thanks again.
