Old red copper is one of the most sought-after metal streams in recycling. It is a relatively pure metal known for its good conductivity and easy processing. Despite not being of the very highest quality (like HP copper), old red copper is still very valuable to turn in.
Old red copper can be recognized by its red glow, often with a dull or dark layer due to oxidation. Unlike HP copper, old red copper may have slight contamination, such as solder residue or tarnish. This makes it slightly less pure, but still excellent for recycling.
Where can you find old red copper to recycle?
Demolition, remodeling or renovations often release a lot of red copper. Typical sources of old red copper are:
Pipes and tubes in kitchens and bathrooms
Remnants of heating systems and boilers
Uninsulated electrical wires
Gutters and roofing from older buildings
We weigh your metals on site and calculate the fee based on current metal prices. So you always know where you stand.
You can drop by our Utrecht location without an appointment. We will help you immediately with unloading and handling.
By recycling your metals, you contribute to the reuse of raw materials and avoid unnecessary waste. Good for the environment as well as your wallet.
After submission, the metal is carefully sorted and cleaned of contaminants. It then goes to smelters where it is reprocessed into pure copper. The great advantage of copper is that it can be recycled again and again without loss of quality. Thus, old red copper often reappears in new pipes, installations or electrical applications.
