About Copper Melting Scrap
Copper melting scrap is a high-value non-ferrous category that is closely tracked in the trade. It is recovered from wire and cable, plumbing tube, electrical machinery, and automotive radiators, among other sources.
The grading system, maintained by the Recycled Materials Association, gives each variety a short name. Bare bright copper wire — clean, uncoated, electrolytically pure — trades under the name Barley. Number 1 copper — clean, unalloyed, uncoated — trades as Berry, Candy, or Cliff depending on form. Number 2 copper, which may carry light coatings or solder, trades as Birch or Cliff. Insulated copper wire, which still contains copper but mixed with the insulation, trades as Daniel, Druid, Dream, and others depending on the recovery yield.
