    I guess each place is different. My non-ferrous place has 3 levels of Cu, each coming down a dime each time. I've never sold #3 Cu so I'll ask next time what that is at $2.10 a pound. They only give #1 Cu to clean bright pipe (no discolored pipe even if you cut the soldered joints off) and thick gauge bright wire. So most goes in as #2. The reason I asked the question in the first place was this epoxy was excessive and some had embedded glass (glass from yokes that had no set screws to loosen up so the very tip of the tube gets busted off to get the yoke off). I did hammer the offending yokes after a night in the freezer and got a lot more crap off of them. They should go as #2 now (but I will show them a more messed up one and see that they would do with it...

    That should be Bare Bright and pay the most. You may want to ask why they don't follow the industry standard.
