Tips for Getting the Best Copper Price
Maximize your payout with these simple steps
Separate by Grade
Sort your copper by type. Clean, bare bright copper fetches the highest prices. Keep wire, pipe, and mixed copper separate.
Remove Insulation
Strip plastic insulation from copper wire when possible. Bare copper is worth significantly more than insulated wire.
Clean Your Scrap
Remove attachments like steel brackets, solder, or dirt. Cleaner copper = better grade = higher price per kilogram.
