Copper scrap metal comes into the yard in many different forms. Here is a quick explanation of the descriptions we use and how to get the best return for your scrap copper.
The best grade is (BB) bare bright copper. This is usually brought to our yards in the form of stripped wire and sometimes cut of and scrap from plumbing projects.The name really says it all. The material should essentially look like a brand new penny of like the big pennys you can get from the buyer Wayne. (If you see Wayne ask for one).
#1 copper is any copper pipe, stripped wire, sheet, chips or turnings that maybe discolored but don’t show any paint, solder, fittings or exceptionally heavy patina.
#2 copper is copper scrap similar to #1 copper but has paint, soldered fittings and heavy patina in the same forms.
