๐ฐ KNOW YOUR COPPER = MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET ๐ฐ
Not all copper is priced the same โ and a little extra effort can make a BIG difference when you bring it in. Hereโs a quick breakdown to help you get the most out of your scrap:
๐ธ #1 Copper
Clean copper tubing, pipe, or wire with no attachments.
๐ธ #2 Copper
Copper with some impurities โ paint, solder, or small attachments. Still valuable, just a lower price than #1.
๐ธ Insulated Copper Wire
This is where stripping vs. not stripping comes into play ๐
๐ STRIPPED WIRE
If you remove the insulation and leave clean copper, you can often move it into a higher-paying category like #1 or #2.
๐ INSULATED (NOT STRIPPED)
We still buy it โ but pricing is based on the copper recovery inside the insulation, so it pays less than clean copper.
โ๏ธ Is stripping worth it?
โข Thicker wire = usually YES
โข Thin/light wire = usually NOT worth the time
If youโre unsure โ bring it by and weโll help you sort it out ๐ช
