My dishwasher has died and I'm wondering if it has any scrap value? It's a smaller model that fits under the working surface.

Very little, scrap steel is around £200 a tonne or 20 pence a Kilo. Not worth the cost of collection. The best you could do is get it collected free.

With a bit of luck you might find a special offer where they take an old one in part-exchange - you'd need to shop around.

It is not even worth taking it to the scrap yard, as the steel is contains is worth a few pence.
On the other hand I recently had to scrap a washing machine as the drum bearing had failed, that also has very little scrap value.
But what I did was remove the motor, pump/filter, and module as these parts were all working. I then listed them on ebay as used, and got more than £70 for them ... better than a poke in the eye.!
