    Payouts for recycling metals like copper depend on the current commodity market value. The value fluctuates several times a day and a scrap metal yard or recycling agency will post its daily price per pound for customers based on the latest information available.

    On the Other: Recycling Requirements

    Some recycling companies will require that the copper be stripped and that a receipt be provided to prove ownership since copper theft tends to rise with prices. Meeting the requirements may be tough.

    Bottom Line

    Recycling is good for the environment and good for your wallet. If it is not too much work the payout for scrap copper is usually a fair percentage when compared with what new copper costs. Contact several local scrap yards to get the best prices available today.
