SELL SCRAP COPPER
As one of the most widely utilized and valuable metallic elements, copper is integral to virtually every aspect of society and is highly sought-after in countries undergoing significant growth and development.</br>
For people who are serious into copper recycling, we will explain further how to classify different grades of copper. Scrap yards in Singapore take in all kinds of scrap copper, but they pay different prices for different grades.
Grade 1/M1/ no. 1 cu
M1/No.1 copper, also known as "Millberry" or "Bright and Shiny" copper, is a specific grade of copper commonly found in Singapore. It is typically obtained by stripping the insulation from copper cables and wires. The clean and un-coated surface of M1/No.1 copper makes it highly desirable for reuse or recycling purposes, leading to a higher market price compared to other base metals. This grade of copper is often prioritized by scrap collectors due to its value and demand in the market
Grade 2/ no.2 Copper
A few kind of coppers fall into this grade. They are generally found in household electrical appliances, plumbing system and electrical wiring system. Tinned copper is also part of this grading. Some other examples also include copper pipe, bus bars and copper tape.
Grade 3/ Motor Copper
This type of copper is commonly found inside transformers or electric motors. It has a darker coating compared to the rest of the coppers. Scrapping electric motor for this copper is not easy and you should proceed only with personal safety protection.
Copper is one of the most valuable scrap metals due to its high demand and recyclability. It is widely used in electrical wiring, plumbing, industrial machinery, and construction. Since copper maintains its quality even after recycling, it is constantly in demand, making it a profitable metal to sell as scrap.
