Factors Affecting Your Scrap Price
1. Purity and Cleanliness
Clean, unalloyed copper with no attachments commands premium prices. Dirty or mixed materials may be downgraded.

Large quantities (500kg+) typically get better rates due to processing efficiencies for buyers.
3. Global Market Trends
Copper prices are heavily influenced by LME (London Metal Exchange) commodity prices and industrial demand.
4. Local Competition
Areas with multiple scrap yards tend to have better prices due to competition among buyers.
