Copper is one of the most recycled metals in the world. Copper boasts infinite recyclable life. This means it can be recycled over and over again without losing its quality. Copper scrap is generated during the metal fabrication process or after a copper-containing product becomes unusable. Copper scrap can earn you more money than any other metal scrap. 

However, this depends upon the quality and the type of copper. Copper wires are one of the most common and profitable scrap materials. In this blog, let's check out the places from where one can source copper scrap wire.

Best Places To Source Copper Scrap Wire

Electrical contractors:
Copper wiring is an inevitable part of electrical appliances. It is an excellent conductor of electricity and hence it is heavily utilized by electrical contractors. The high usage volume means a high scope for the generation of scrap wire. 

HVAC contractors:
Apart from being a good conductor of electricity, copper is also a great conductor of heat. This leads to the copper wire being extensively used in HVAC systems like home heating equipment, air-conditioners, and ventilation devices. An HVAC system that runs out of life generates high-value copper scrap wire which can be recycled in exchange for good value for money.

Motor garages:
A garage is a perfect place to source ample copper scrap wire. A motor vehicle uses copper wire to connect the lights and motors. Defunct vehicles found in auto garages possess abundant recyclable copper wires.

Construction sites:
Copper wire is an important material during the construction phase of a building. Engineers and architects use copper wire in high volume as they are responsible to carry electricity throughout the structure. This results in a large number of scrap wire accumulations on a construction site.
