If you scrap a window ac unit the window ac unit might bring around $4.00 for scrap metal as is.

But if you take that same window ac apart and separate the materials such as copper, coils etc then you might get around $12.00 to $18.00 from it.

The window ac compressor after opening it up with a chop or some other cutting tool will have around 2 lbs of scrap copper in it which is easy to get out.

Or you can sell the scrap ac compressor as is for a few dollars.

If the ac unit is a central ac unit then you might get around $20.00 to $40.00 as is for the central ac but if you take it apart it might get $50.00 to $70.00 depending on the size of the central air conditioner.

If it's a central air condition you'll likely need to prove where you got it or prove it was yours because of the theft of ac units going around.

On average if you are scrapping a whole window air conditioning unit with your scrap yard, you may get paid between $4-6 for it. However, if you take apart that same window unityou may be tripling your earnings by getting anywhere from $12-18 for the various materials and metals inside, especially the copper tubing.
