Frequently Asked Questions About Copper Recycling
Answers to Popular Copper Recycling Questions
What types of copper pay the best price?
Generally, clean bright and shiny copper (uncoated, unalloyed copper wire) attracts the highest price because it requires less processing. Lower grades that contain insulation, solder, paint or other metals will usually be priced lower. Our team will always separate and grade your copper to maximise your return where possible.
Do I need to strip insulation off copper wire?
You do not have to strip insulation before bringing your copper wire in, however stripped copper usually achieves a higher grade and better price. If you do not have the time or tools to strip wire safely, we are still happy to buy insulated copper cable and will price it accordingly.
What identification do I need to recycle copper?
Scrap metal dealers in New South Wales must comply with state regulations. You may be asked to provide valid photo identification when you recycle copper in Sydney. This helps ensure safe, compliant transactions for everyone.
How often can I bring in copper?
You can visit our Sydney yard as often as you like. Some customers pop in with small amounts of copper on a regular basis, while others bring larger loads from time to time. Whether you are cleaning up your shed or running a busy trade business, we are ready to help whenever you have copper to recycle.
