What Copper Can You Recycle? Wire, Pipe & More

Scrap copper can come from several different sources and is most likely to be found during a home or commercial building renovation. Old scrap piping is typically replaced with modern piping that is easier and less expensive to manage and repair. Copper is also found in the wiring of products such as Christmas lights, cables, and phone cords. Computers and other electronic gadgets may also have copper parts within the components. The good news is that most sources of copper are recyclable and can help you earn money in exchange for bringing it to a scrap yard for processing.

What Happens During Scrap Recycling

Once you drop off your scrap for recycling, your materials will be weighed, and you will be paid for your items. At that point, your job is done, and you can leave it up to the team to process the materials.
