Copper is the third most widely recycled metal by volume in the world and has been melted down and recycled for centuries.

Copper is primarily used in the electrical industry due to its high ability to conduct electricity. Pure copper is mostly used in cables and wires, so much of the recycled copper comes from old cables and wires. This type of copper is usually the purest and most valuable.

At Alvan Metal, we purchase all types of pure copper, including old roofs, gutters, water pipes, and copper alloys such as brass, bronze, red brass, and others.

We specialize in copper scrap recycling and carefully monitor market prices to provide the best prices and services to our customers.
