Frequently Asked Questions

How do I dispose of an old transformer? +

The safest and most profitable way to dispose of an old transformer is to call a certified surplus buyer like us. We assess the transformer, make a cash offer, and handle all removal and transportation at no cost. For transformers with value, we pay you. For transformers with no resale value, we recycle them responsibly and may still offer scrap value for the copper and steel.

Does my transformer contain PCBs? +

Transformers manufactured before 1979 may contain PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), a hazardous substance requiring special disposal. If your transformer was made before 1979 or has no nameplate, it should be tested before disposal. We do not handle PCB-containing transformers but can refer you to certified handlers.

How much does transformer disposal cost? +

For transformers with resale or scrap value, disposal is free — we actually pay you. For transformers with no value (severely damaged, very old, or with contaminated oil), there may be a disposal fee. Call us for a free assessment and we'll give you a straight answer.

Can you remove a transformer that is still energized? +

No — transformers must be de-energized and disconnected before removal. Our crews can coordinate with your electrical contractor or utility company to ensure safe de-energization before we arrive for removal.

What happens to the transformer after you take it? +

Transformers with resale value are cleaned, tested, and resold on the surplus market. Transformers with no resale value are recycled — copper windings, steel cores, and aluminum are separated and sent to certified metal recyclers. Transformer oil is disposed of by certified waste handlers.

Do you handle transformer disposal for businesses and municipalities? +

Yes — we work with manufacturing plants, utilities, municipalities, hospitals, universities, data centers, and any organization that needs to dispose of surplus or end-of-life transformers. We provide documentation for your records upon completion.
