How to Prepare Your Catalytic Converter for Scrap
At Moffatt Scrap Iron & Metal Inc., we are experienced in recycling used car parts efficiently and safely. We understand how important it is to recycle items from your car that have been in contact with pollutants so that they don’t damage the environment.
Catalytic converters are commonly recycled car parts. They are used for converting toxic gases into exhaust gas. They are sometimes found in kerosene heaters and stoves, but are most often used in automobiles.
Before you recycle your catalytic converter, there are a couple of ways you can make sure it gets recycled properly:
1) Know the make and model – This will ensure a fair price for everyone
2) Aftermarket vs original – Aftermarkets often get a lower price, so know what kind yours is
3) Don’t remove the mesh – Removing this will make it nearly impossible for scrap yards to identify the type of converter you have
4) Cut off the exhaust pipe – If you can do so safely, this can help you get a better price for your catalytic converter
