AC/Fridge compressors are mechanical devices used in air conditioners (AC) and
refrigerators (fridges) to compress and circulate refrigerant gas, which enables cooling.

When referred to as scrap, AC/Fridge compressors are considered a valuable type of mixed
metal waste, especially in the recycling industry.
