Copper Prices and Copper Recycling in Elizabeth

Copper is our main focus and pays more per kilo than any other common scrap metal, so it is worth sorting before you leave Elizabeth. With so many trades and workshops across the northern suburbs, most of the copper we see from Elizabeth is electrical cable offcuts, stripped wire and copper pipe left over from plumbing jobs.

We buy every grade of scrap copper from Elizabeth 5112: bare bright wire, #1 clean pipe and busbar, #2 soldered or painted copper, copper-aluminium radiators and coils, and electric motors with copper windings, plus copper wire and cable, brass and the copper inside old air conditioners. Each grade is weighed on certified scales in front of you and paid the same visit.
