Hello All,

I know someone who works at large fabrication company. Surprisingly management have no mandatory recycling or accountability program for copper mig welding nozzles and tips. Granted everything you request you need to do your job is logged and audit reports are generated for suspicious high use of items.

They showed me thier stash of tips all loaded with carbon and some have mig wires stuck in them.

Are they worth anything? How much per pound?

Higher grade copper, they are a pinkish color band new?

Melt them down to get rid of impurities and sell bars online?

I told him he's wasting his time as according to Google it looks like copper scrap is $2 a pound.



Seems a waste though to just toss them out or throw them in the general steel scrap bin at work.

Thanks
