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.

2. Quantity Available

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.

Tips for Getting the Best Price

  • Separate your materials - Keep copper and brass separate from other metals
  • Clean your scrap - Remove any non-metal attachments when possible
  • Time your sale - Prices often peak during industrial production cycles
  • Build relationships - Regular sellers often get better rates from established buyers
  • Check multiple buyers - Prices can vary significantly between scrap yards
