  1. What are the uses for copper wire?

  2. The word copper comes from the Latin word ‘cuprum’, which means ‘ore of Cyprus’. This is why the chemical symbol for copper is Cu. 

  3. Different Types of Scrap Copper Wires:

  4. Bare Bright Wire – The color of the wire will be a faint orange/yellow and bright color. The wire itself will have a shine to it without any oil or shellac on the outside.

  5. Tin Coat Wire – Tin coat copper wire is going to be a lower price from Bare Bright Wire. It is coated in tin (silver in color). This used in various types of cable to lower the percentage of copper for cost efficiency.

  6. Insulated Copper Wire – This is a common type of copper wire you will normally find from electronics and appliances. Usually, it’s not worth to strip this wire for the copper inside due to the lack of recovery. But you can determine what makes sense with our stripping guide.

  7. Computer Wire – These wires are going to be the ribbon wire and also board wires from inside your computer towers. Typically scrap yards will buy these wires differently compared to the regular insulated wires because they have less copper.

  8. THHN Wire – Otherwise known as 10-14 gauge wire or spaghetti wire has solid copper inside. THHN is a name given that means Thermoplastic, High Heat, Nylon coated…and while that may not matter to you when scrapping, it is still a cool thing to be able to know.

  9. Romex®Wire– Romex® wire a brand of housewire or non-metallic wire is electrical wiring commonly found in homes. Generally, you can make more money by stripping the wires to get to the copper. Housewire has two jackets covering the copper inside.
