Why Copper Pipe Is in High Demand

Copper is more than just another metal. It’s a high-value material used in countless applications-plumbing, electronics, construction, and more. It’s also 100% recyclable, which makes it incredibly valuable in today’s eco-conscious world.

What this means for you? Those leftover or unused scrap coppers could be worth a lot more than you think.

What Affects the Scrap Price for Copper Pipe? Maximize for More!

It’s good to know what factors influence its value. Here’s what determines how much cash you’ll take:

1. Type of Copper Pipe

#1 Copper Pipe: This is the cleanest type-no paint, solder, fittings, or oxidation. It earns you the highest payout.

#2 Copper Pipe: Has minor impurities such as solder, paint, or attachments. Still valuable, but priced slightly lower.

2. Weight

Copper is priced per kilogram, so the more you have, the more you earn. Even small amounts add up quickly.

3. Cleanliness

Remove brass fittings, plastic, and solder & boost the grading of your copper to a better price.

4. Free pickups

We collect from homes in Brunswick, Footscray, CBD (in big volume) – other customers like construction sites, plumbing workshops get free pickups or even decommissioning services.
