Copper Wire Scrap Prices — All Types Bought

Copper wire is the most common form of scrap copper — and the most misunderstood when it comes to pricing. The price you're paid depends almost entirely on copper recovery percentage: how much of the wire's weight is actual copper versus insulation. High-grade THHN runs 75-80% recovery, household Romex about 65%, while communications wire may be under 40%.
