Shiny Copper

Shiny Copper is the most valuable grade of scrap copper wire on the market. This type of copper cable is uncoated, unalloyed, and shiny, which makes it the top choice for high-paying recycling rates. It's the best option when it comes to recycling copper.

Copper #1

Copper #1 includes copper piping with no attachments or welding. This type of copper is highly sought after in the scrap copper industry, offering excellent returns when recycled properly. 

Copper #2 Or Burnt Copper.

Copper #2, also known as Burnt Copper, includes copper piping with welded joints or residue and contamination. Burnt copper wire, often formed by burning insulation off copper wire, should be disposed of responsibly to avoid harm to both you and the environment. This grade of copper is slightly lower in value but still worth recycling.

Domestic Copper.

Domestic Copper is copper piping with soldered joins and Brass fittings. These mixtures of soldering and brass attachments to the Domestic Copper brings down the market value of this type of metal. This is due to the extended processes that need to be done after the piping has landed in the scrap metal yard.

Irony Copper.

Irony Copper, like other irony metals, contains steel, plastic, or paper attachments. This makes it less valuable than other types of copper. Irony Copper can also fall under the category of domestic copper, as both types require extra processing before being recycled.
