About Starters

Scrap Starters consist of mixed automotive starters, free of large attachments. Starters are mainly found in cars, trucks, and other vehicles. They have a scrap metal value due to their interior copper wiring.

Starters are some of the most common materials found in scrap yards. It is not recommended to opening the units and separating the materials, as it is labor intensive, and they are sellable as-is at a fair price.

Starters are considered to be valuable scrap materials due to their copper content and can be sold to scrap yards and dealers at fair prices, usually by the pound or by the unit.
