Tips for Getting the Best Copper Price

Maximize your payout with these simple steps

1

Separate by Grade

Sort your copper by type. Clean, bare bright copper fetches the highest prices. Keep wire, pipe, and mixed copper separate.

2

Remove Insulation

Strip plastic insulation from copper wire when possible. Bare copper is worth significantly more than insulated wire.

3

Clean Your Scrap

Remove attachments like steel brackets, solder, or dirt. Cleaner copper = better grade = higher price per kilogram.
