Bright Copper
Bright copper is the highest-grade copper, known as copper #1. This kind of copper is clean, shiny, and free of insulation or other coatings. Bright copper is found in electrical wiring, plumbing.
Light Copper
Light copper is a lower grade because it contains impurities such as light oxidation or a minor coating. It's found in plumbing pipes, scrap copper fittings, or other copper materials.
Insulated Copper Wire
Insulated copper wire is copper wire that remains coated with insulation, such as plastic or rubber. It's found in household items and residential wiring.

Steel
It comes from various sources, including old appliances, vehicles, construction materials, and industrial equipment.
Brass

Clean vs Contaminated Scrap Metal
Clean Scrap Metal
Clean scrap metal is free of contaminants such as dirt, oil, paint, plastics, rubber, and other non-metallic materials. It's easily sorted and recycled, which is why a high price is expected. Common examples include copper wire, uncoated aluminum, and steel without rust or paint.
Contaminated Scrap Metal
This type of scrap metal may contain other materials, such as coatings, rust, paint, or insulation. Similarly, contaminated scrap metal can include items such as copper wire and painted steel.
