Types of copper
Prices Per kg
Clean Copper
$ 10 - 13 $
Domestic Copper
$ 9 - 10 $
Dirty Copper
$ 8 - 9 $
Bright Copper
This is clean, bright copper with no paint, solder, coatings, or insulation—often stripped wire or high-purity offcuts.
Mixed Copper
It's a mix of copper with brass or other metals, not pure copper. It can consist of items like radiators, scrap fittings, or valves that may contain both copper and brass.
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.
Clean Copper / #1 Copper
Clean copper pipe, tube, or sheet with minimal fittings and no heavy contamination. Commonly found in plumbing and construction offcuts.
Tinned / Burnt Copper
Copper that’s tinned/coated or heat-affected. It’s recyclable, but requires extra processing, so it’s usually graded differently.
Copper Radiators & Mixed Components
Radiators and copper-containing parts that may include brass, aluminium, or other materials. These are usually bought in their own category.
What should you do to recycle scrap copper?
Follow these steps to get the best scrap metal prices in Melbourne.
1 .Collect and sort your copper.
Keep copper separate from other metals (such as brass, aluminium, and steel). Sorting usually improves your return.
2. Remove non-metal attachments (if possible)
Remove plastic, rubber, excess solder, and unnecessary fittings where you can. Clean copper is faster to process and typically pays better.
3. Weigh and inspect
We weigh your load and grade it fairly based on cleanliness, type, and processing required.
