Just curious I have two in my backyard is it worth recycling them or sell them to individuals?
More likely you will have to pay to have them recycled. That money essentially covers the overhead of dismantling the items.
Your washing machine does have some value in the internal parts, the motors have some value by themselves, the wire, the various metals used elsewhere, they all have value, not much in the case of single machines, but as you enlarge the scale of the recovery, the more money you can make if you have several tons of recovered steel.
In some cases, if you strip the machines down to basic component pieces, you can save the cost of the recycling fee if you happen to have a scrap metal dealer in your area. Check with your local waste hauler or unit of government office (city hall if in town) and see what information they have regarding appliance disposal. If it is in pieces, any junkyard wil likely take it off your hands, as for what you might make off them? not much.
If you try to sell them to people, most want them working. If you know what is wrong with each machine, you might be able to sell them for the good parts to someone who is looking to fix their own machine.
