Preparing your copper before selling can save you from leaving empty-handed. At Kangaroo Copper Recycling, we come across this situation daily. Hence, below is a quick way to prepare your copper before your next visit to us.

  1. Separate Copper from Other Metals

Mixed metal loads often get paid less compared to separated ones. Before you come over to our place, make sure you:

  • Remove copper from any item that contains steel, aluminium, or brass.
  • Put similar copper products together; for example, pipes with pipes.
  • Sort out your copper wiring from tubing or fittings.

This small action will help us estimate your load properly rather than paying you based on the lower rate.

  1. Strip Insulation if You Can

Uninsulated copper wiring is worth more than insulated wiring. This means you should:

  • Take off the insulation from the wires that can be easily stripped.
  • If it is hard for you to do this, leave the cable for us to strip.
  • Don’t burn the insulation off because it not only ruins the copper but also creates a lot of smoke.

This small action will help save you time when it comes to weighing scrap copper Weston.

  1. Remove Plastic, Wood, and Other Non-Metal Attachments

Sometimes copper products are fixed to plastic, wood, or something else. Before selling:

  • Unscrew plastic parts if possible.
  • Take out all screws and other parts that are not copper.
  • Remove copper tubing from foam or any other covering.

Always remember that clean copper will get a higher price than copper that is still attached to anything.

  1. Store It Properly Before We Come

Proper storage of copper is another important step. Store it:

  • Dry - to protect it from rain and moisture
  • Securely - to prevent any theft
  • Containers - In boxes or bags

This way, you will preserve the condition of your copper and will make the transportation of scrap copper Pelaw Main easier.

  1. Pick Up or Drop Off

Once your copper is ready, it is up to you to either drop it at our warehouse or get it picked up from your home or office by our staff.
