Copper Scrap Recycling Vermont
Copper is one of the most valuable and commonly recycled metals. It has a wide range of uses across various industries, and its high conductivity, adaptability, and corrosion resistance contribute to its value. Copper is used in electrical wiring, plumbing pipes and fittings, electronic components, roofing materials, coins, and more.
Bare Bright
A specific grade or category of scrap copper that is highly sought after in the recycling industry due to its high purity and clean appearance. Commonly used in electrical applications where high electrical conductivity.
Copper #1
The classification is based on the quality and purity of the copper, and it typically represents a higher grade of copper scrap. Ex: copper colored pipe or stripped wire with no solder, paint or tarnish.

Cobalt with Copper
Used as targets in MRI machines and other machinery
Copper #1 Wire
Copper #1 wire stripped clean wire with no solder, paint or tarnish.
Copper #2
Another classification used in the scrap metal recycling industry and represents a lower grade of scrap copper. Can be processed and recycled into new copper products or used in applications where slightly lower purity is acceptable.
Copper #2 Tin Coated
Copper #2 wire with a tin coating. Tin coating is often applied to copper wire to enhance its corrosion resistance, solderability, and conductivity. Used in such as wiring harnesses, connectors, and electronic components.
Copper #2 Wire
Copper #2 Wire can be sourced from various applications, including electrical wiring with insulation, communication cables, and copper components with minor impurities.
Copper #3
A classification used in the scrap metal recycling industry to categorize a lower grade of scrap copper compared to Copper #1 and Copper #2. Can be found where the copper content is lower or mixed with other materials. Usually in sheets.
Copper #3 Lead Coated
Sheet copper with lead coating, This type of copper is used in architectural elements like roofing, flashing, and decorative components, where lead-coated copper is used.
Copper Bearing
