How much can you earn?
The price of one kg of copper mix is slightly lower than other types of scrap, since it requires additional work:
- primary sorting;
- separation of insulation, impurities and other materials;
- cutting with a special tool and packaging for sending for remelting.
The cost of scrap metal is determined for each batch individually. During reception, the appearance, nature and percentage of contamination, the content of pure copper and other metal impurities, as well as the complexity of further processing are assessed. The price will also be affected by the volume of the batch - the greater the weight of the recyclables, the more we will pay per 1 kg. To avoid damage to assorted items and to ensure the highest possible valuation, we advise you to hand over scrap immediately after writing off or accumulating a certain amount of copper household waste.
Taking copper mix
We accept mixed copper scrap in any quantity, from 1 kg to multi-ton batches. We accept any copper alloys, non-ferrous metals, cables.
We will arrive promptly, load everything ourselves and remove the scrap metal for free, payment immediately on the spot (cash or card).
We weigh metal on precise electronic scales
A special place in everyday life and production among metal waste is occupied by various types of recyclable materials. You should not throw away unclaimed wires, dishes, components, furniture and other products, as they can be recycled as low-grade copper. purchases such scrap metal from both individuals and enterprises. We operate throughout Moscow and the region. Collection points are located in different areas, so it is convenient for our customers to hand over recyclable materials. We also provide scrap metal removal services.
The category of low-grade copper does not have special requirements for composition and contamination. The cost of such recyclable materials is relatively low, since it contains many foreign impurities: ferrous metals, paint, varnish and other inclusions. To get the most benefit from off-grade copper, you should avoid:
- insulating braid;
- third party metals;
- oil and oxidation;
- tips;
- reflow.
Wholesale quantities are priced higher than small quantities.
What does copper mix mean - Metalhead's Handbook
Today, copper (Cu) is a sought-after metal, a chemical element whose presence is noticeable in almost all areas of human activity. To reduce the cost of its use, reduce the consumption of pure copper products, humanity has come to the creation of various alloys, as well as the inevitability of using recycled materials containing Cu.
For those who came to this article only to find out the price, we inform you that:
a kilogram of copper costs 300 rubles (average price in Russia)
What types of copper waste exist?
There is no unambiguous division of copper scrap into grades relative to collection points for secondary non-ferrous metals. However, most metal receivers distinguish 4 main categories of materials, based on the developed GOST. They differ in the content of impurities in the copper alloy.
- Pure, unalloyed material (with a characteristic shine).
- Second grade. Metal in small quantities (up to 5%) alloyed with impurities.
- The third grade includes products where the content of the pure element is reduced to 80%;
- A variety in which the presence of Cu can be as low as 30%.
Each recycling collection point has its own position in establishing criteria for the quality of copper scrap and its price. The following become important: shape, size, weight (the density of the material depends on these parameters).
Graduation of Cu waste by cost
The cost of copper scrap per kg is set according to the calibration. The first two points are valued at 30-40 rubles more expensive than the others, with a nominal value of about 365. However, these figures change quickly depending on trading on the exchange. Therefore, if the seller did not have time to agree on a deal yesterday, the price of scrap copper today may turn out to be completely different for him.
If you analyze the situation a little, it is not difficult to understand that the value of scrap copper today is actually determined by the price charged for the ore containing this element. Its inclusion in natural compositions reaches 80%, which corresponds to the third grade of acceptance of this metal.
Therefore, when you see an advertisement: I will buy copper scrap, it is not difficult to compare exchange prices for ore and scrap of similar content. If these numbers are not very different, such a receiver can be trusted.
Another important point. A large entrepreneur will rarely be distracted by small quantities of copper scrap, even with the price set for 1 kg, attention is paid exclusively to loads of at least a ton. This is one of the key challenges for the small-lot scrap collector.
Average and current prices in Russia for mid-2021 are as follows:
- Copper scrap (mix) A1-2 - 300 rubles per kg;
- Copper scrap A1-1E - 320 rubles per kg;
- Copper scrap A1-1D - 320 rubles per kg;
- Copper scrap A1-1A - 330 rubles per kg;
- Copper scrap A1-1 - 330 rubles per kg;
- Copper scrap (shavings) - 280 rubles per kg;
- Scrap copper cable (in insulated) - 250 rubles per kg.
An article about the types and differences of copper scrap, and the services of the Phoenix-S company
Scrap copper and types of waste from this metal | List of groups, varieties and classes according to GOST 1639-93 | Types of copper and alloys that contain copper |
Unoxidized copper (scrap), shiny copper without signs of half-metal, oils and soldering - electrical conductors, stripped core in an oil submersible cable, wire rods and cathode scraps. | A-1-1Copper Category A | M1, M0 |
Scrap in the form of current conductors, mechanically stripped of insulation, the diameter of which is from 1 to 2 mm. | A-1-1aCopper Category B | M1, M0 |
Copper scrap without traces of soldering - busbars, trolls, conductive cables that do not allow lead and tin inserts of 2 mm in thickness. | A-1-1aCopper Category G, B | M1, M0 |
Copper scrap without soldering residues and half-plates - flat and waste from round rolling. | A-1-1aCopper Category D | M1, M2, M3 |
Current-conducting cables, crushed and mechanically stripped of insulation (free from foreign metals). | A-1-2 | M1,M0 |
The most expensive copper scrap is considered to be all types of electrical copper. Due to its high thermal and electrical conductivity, copper is considered an indispensable material in the manufacture of low-voltage networks and high-power electrical installations. When exposed to electrical resistance, the performance and efficiency of all electrical devices are significantly reduced. Every percentage point improvement in electricity throughput counts towards the efficiency of the device.
For the same reason, buses and windings made of this metal are used in all devices that use a current of 10 Amperes or more.
Copper as a metal is considered unrivaled in use in electrical cables and wires. Typically, the purest types of copper are used here, such as M0 and M1, due to which the cable cores are resistant to oxidation and retain their shine for a long period of time. Because of such an amazing property, copper cores on which there is no insulation are called “sparkles”, “electrical copper scrap”, etc.
To get “shiny” copper scrap, you need to mechanically cut network cables and wires. Each core must reach a thickness of 1.5 mm or more. The presence of varnish and paint contamination, as well as the presence of half-painting, is not allowed. Only the purest and most brilliant types of copper products are considered “Electrotech.” To obtain “glitter,” waste high-power power cables are usually separated.
We purchase scrap copper from Elektrotech at favorable and pleasant prices. Contact us and we will agree on everything.
Lump copper
Reception of scrap "Piece". Among the many types of scrap copper, lump copper or the so-called “piece” is quite famous. What type of copper can be considered lump? These can be parts of an electrical cable, as well as wires and cable cores. Lump copper includes winding copper wires, supply bars and copper tubes, the length of which is more than 2 mm in each dimension. Lump copper is most often obtained by oxidation or annealing. This type does not contain semi-degradation, oxidation and similar types of contaminants that are commonly found in copper scrap. Lump copper must be completely free of insulation, varnishes, paints and foreign metal additives.
“Phoenix-S” accepts lump copper scrap in any quantity at the best possible prices. For more information, contact our firm.
Mix type copper, its properties and general characteristics
All copper alloys usually come in two types - cast and wrought. Based on the name, deformed coils usually include coils, wires, pipes, wires, rods and all types of windings. Cast copper products are solid parts devoid of plasticity - sculptures made of this noble metal, molds and other cast products.
The most popular type of copper scrap can be considered the so-called. copper “mix” - a mixture of fragments, parts and pieces of copper of any degree of contamination. A large amount of waste, the presence of paint residues, half-water or inclusions of third-party metals is the reason that the cost of the “mix” is relatively low, and quite little pure copper comes out of it after remelting. If you want to pass the “mix” profitably, contact. We are ready to accept scrap copper at pleasant anti-crisis prices.
Copper is rightfully considered one of the most common materials on our planet. It is used in almost all industries important to humanity. The high level of electrical conductivity makes copper the absolute leader in use in all types of electrical industries. Almost every electrical line or machine cannot do without copper coils, windings, starters or rotors.
How much does copper scrap cost?
The cost of 1 kg depends on the chemical composition of copper scrap, the integrity of the products, the type of recycled materials being handed over, the presence of impurities and contaminants. The price is also influenced by the volume of the batch, the current exchange rate, and additional coefficients. The calculation is performed by an expert after visual inspection and weighing. With constant cooperation and delivery of large quantities, favorable conditions and additional bonuses are provided.
At your request, we will remove the scrap from the site ourselves. For this purpose, we have at our disposal vehicles of various carrying capacities and teams of experienced loaders. If necessary, we will dismantle structures and load and unload recyclable materials. Removal of scrap copper from 200 kg in Podolsk is free of charge.
What is copper luster
“Blestyashka” is a valuable high-purity cable copper (M0-M1) with a core thickness of at least 2 mm. Shiny scrap is pieces of low-voltage cables and wires, cleaned only mechanically (firing excluded!).

Such scrap is received in large quantities at processing plants, after which it is melted down, drawn back into a copper core and reused in the production of durable, high-quality cable products and radio components.
Copper can be melted down many times without losing its technical properties. Therefore, for industrial production, scrap “shiny” is profitable, since it reduces the cost of products, and for sellers it is an opportunity to make money by selling unnecessary or used cables.
The cost of receiving luster copper is high, but the plant only buys large quantities of metal. For private sellers and small commercial companies with small volumes of scrap, it is better to contact receivers in Moscow, which accepts batches of shiny copper from 100 kg.
