Texoma Recycling in Ardmore pays competitive prices for all grades of copper scrap including bare bright, #1, #2, insulated wire, and copper pipe. Walk in any time during business hours - no appointment needed.
Copper is the most valuable non-ferrous scrap metal by weight, and Texoma Recycling in Ardmore pays market-competitive rates on every grade. Whether you are a plumber pulling old copper pipe from a remodel, an electrician with a load of wire, a contractor clearing HVAC equipment, or a homeowner scrapping a water heater, we handle it all at our Ardmore yard.
Copper pricing is highly sensitive to grade. Clean, bare bright copper with no attachments or oxidation pays the highest rate. Copper with fittings, solder joints, or minor oxidation grades as #2. Insulated wire is graded separately based on estimated copper recovery — a thicker, cleaner wire jacket grades higher than thin extension cord wire. We help you identify your grade on the spot so you always know what you are being paid for.
Our certified digital scales provide accurate weight on every load. For large copper loads from job sites or facility cleanouts, we offer commercial pickup and container service. Call (580) 490-2096 to discuss your situation or request a pickup online.
Copper prices are updated regularly based on LME futures and local market conditions. Use our free price calculator to estimate your load value before you leave, or call us for today's exact rate at (580) 490-2096.
Stripping insulation from copper wire upgrades it from insulated wire rate to #1 or #2 copper rate — often a significant difference per pound on larger loads.
Brass and steel fittings attached to copper pipe drop the grade to #2. Removing fittings before you arrive can increase your payout on pipe and tubing loads.
Keep #1 copper separate from #2 and wire separate from pipe. Mixed loads are graded at the lowest category. Pre-sorted loads get paid at the correct rate per category.
