Your Copper Scrap’s Worth

Scrap Mart Metals • May 26, 2022

Copper, considered "the new oil," is the most widely used metal in energy generation and storage and comes second after aluminum and steel in the construction, automobile, and manufacturing industries. Consequently, there's very high demand for it, and its prices will spike in the next few years. 

Recently, it rose to a whopping $10,512 per metric ton in May, a 130% growth in 2 months.

Therefore, you're undoubtedly paying through the nose for every new copper product and should take advantage of copper recycling plants that buy back your scrap. 

Why Sell Your Scrap Copper Products?

  1. Make some money from the trash.
  2. You paid an arm and a leg for it; let it pay you back.

Why Recycle Copper?

  1. As you dispose of it, you'll need new products. You put the scrap to use and ensure an unending supply by recycling it.
  2. Save the planet; copper recycling reduces landfills and toxins that the alternative—refinement—emits.
  3. Conserve raw materials. You'll prevent further ore mining and preserve it for future generations.
