Copper Recycling
As one of the most versatile metals on our planet, copper can be found in several common products throughout your business or home. The applications of this material are extensive, which increases the importance of recycling it. Over the last 100 years, 700 million metric tonnes of copper has been extracted from the Earth in the efforts to advance our economy. With ongoing improvements to recycling, more than 65% of that amount is still in circulation today.
Our skilled team members are familiar with every grade of copper and can accurately grade your scrap upon inspection. We accept number 1, number 2, number 3, and millberry (bare bright copper). The grading of your scrap will impact your return, as each type has a different resale value. No matter what kind it is, recycling copper is very lucrative due to the high demand for it. After decades of working in the industry, we guarantee you will receive the most accurate grading for your materials each time.
