Copper Scrap

Our Copper Scrap service provides specialized recovery, processing, and recycling of valuable copper materials from demolition and renovation projects. We approach copper recovery with expert knowledge of material identification, extraction techniques, and market values to maximize reclamation returns. Our process begins with comprehensive identification of copper-bearing materials throughout the structure, including plumbing systems, electrical wiring, HVAC components, architectural elements, and specialty installations containing recoverable copper. We implement targeted extraction methods specific to different copper applications, utilizing specialized tools and techniques that preserve material integrity and prevent contamination during the removal process. Our teams are trained to identify and segregate different copper grades including bare bright copper wire, #1 copper tubing, #2 copper with minimal attachments, and copper-bearing components requiring further processing to extract the valuable metal content. We provide secure collection systems including locked containers, segregated storage areas, and careful inventory management to prevent unauthorized access to these high-value materials during the demolition process. Our processing methodology includes appropriate preparation techniques for different copper sources, from mechanical wire stripping to torch cutting of larger components, each optimized to produce the highest material grade and corresponding market value. We maintain comprehensive material tracking throughout the recovery process, providing detailed documentation of copper categories, weights, processing methods, and chain of custody for project reporting and financial reconciliation. Our established relationships with specialized metal recyclers and refiners ensure optimal market values for recovered copper, with direct material routing to appropriate processors based on material grade and volume. We implement environmentally responsible practices throughout our copper recovery operations, ensuring proper handling of associated materials including insulation, fittings, solders, and coatings that may contain regulated substances. Following project completion, we provide detailed reporting on recovered copper including weight certificates, material grade classifications, processing pathways, and financial reconciliation documenting the value recovered through professional copper recycling practices.
