Copper price pages need grade detail because bright copper, clean pipe and insulated wire are not valued the same. Use this page to identify the copper grade before visiting. The table gives a public guide, then the sections below explain the material categories that make this page different from other price pages.
| Material / grade | Indicative public benchmark | Pricing note |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Bright & Shiny | A$13.50-$14.00/kg | Clean bright copper benchmark from May 2026 public Adelaide/Australia data. |
| Copper #1 / clean pipe | A$13.00-$13.75/kg | Clean copper pipe, busbar and heavier copper without solder or contamination. |
| Copper PVC wire | A$4.50-$5.15/kg | Insulated copper wire varies by copper recovery and plastic content. |
Use these notes to identify what you have before calling or visiting.
Clean, shiny, uncoated copper wire is normally the strongest copper category.
Clean tube, pipe, busbar and solid copper should be kept free from solder-heavy pieces.
Paint, solder, oxidation, brass fittings or other attachments can move copper into a lower grade.

Price pages work best when visitors can see the practical buying process: sorted scrap, clean material and in-store assessment before payment.
Cleaner preparation helps the yard assess the material faster and reduces confusion between grades.
| Entity | Attribute | Value |
|---|---|---|
| copper | Electrician wire offcuts | Value depends on stripped versus insulated cable. |
| copper | Plumbing pipe | Clean pipe normally grades above soldered or painted pieces. |
| copper | Mixed renovation copper | Attachments and contamination drive the final grade. |

Copper price pages need grade detail because bright copper, clean pipe and insulated wire are not valued the same. Use this page to identify the copper grade before visiting. Public May 2026 benchmarks start around A$13.50-$14.00/kg, then the final amount is set by in-store grading and weighing.
Bare bright copper, #1 copper pipe and busbar, #2 copper and mixed copper are the main categories to keep apart before visiting.
Keep stripped wire separate from insulated wire. Remove easy brass fittings or steel clips where practical. Keep plumbing copper dry and clear of soil or rubble. Bring mixed copper separately so it can be graded clearly.
