What happens when you replace your catalytic converter?
Usually, when your catalytic converter gets replaced, the mechanic will take it and recycle it. Not many mechanics will tell you that there would be residual value of the unit because most regular people don’t know about the Scrap world.
When replacing your converter, you can keep your old one!
Anytime any work gets done to your car, and there are extra parts, you should ask what the mechanic is doing with the parts as you still own them. About 95% of the parts that are changed in cars are the very low value when it comes to scrap, and it is not worth your time to ask for them back, but if there is a clogged catalytic converter, this is something that you’re always going to want to look out for and want back. If you fail emissions at the DMV, you may be required to replace your converter.
How do you sell your old catalytic converter?
In the past, the traditional way of selling catalytic converters was by going directly to the scrap yard and cashing them in for whatever price they gave you. Most people would just accept that price and move on with their day, but with online options, you can now find out the value of your catalytic converter.

Who buys an old or scrap catalytic converter?
We do! RRCats has been buying scrap metal at our scrap yard, Rockaway Recycling, located in New Jersey, since 1977. Now a nationally recognized catalytic converter buyer, we buy catalytic converters online with free shipping options and an easy-to-follow selling process. You can learn more about our process.
HOW IT WORKS
Well, many scrap yards will buy catalytic converters. They will often pay very low value. Most scrap yards are more concerned with their regular day-to-day business in the metal world and not the cat world.
While there are many specialty catalytic converter buyers, many are not following proper business practices or taking the information they should. They are more of the in and out sales game, which will affect your prices and availability sometimes. Often when we see the market drop, many of these buyers will disappear as they have overextended on previous purchases.
Is it ok to sell a catalytic converter online?
Selling catalytic converters online may be a new concept, but it has been widely adopted across the country. We have seen more and more people selling catalytic converters online. It gives them more flexibility, and having free shipping most of the time makes it very convenient as you can drop the cat off at any location close to you. Using old cardboard boxes from deliveries or old moving boxes also allows you to get rid of trash and quickly package and ship your catalytic converters out.
