Where to sell my copper

Going to be hard to cut out the middle man in this case. I am sure if you ask the yards they will not tell you who buys from them. Some websites list buyers for stuff. RecycleNet Corporation

If these yards only have one location, they are just selling to the national scrap metal businesses, or very large operations. SIMS, Schnitzer, Omnisource, etc...Upstate Shredding in your area does a lot of non-ferrous.

Next, although you do have a considerable amount of copper, it really is a drop in the bucket to the big processors. This is also a one-time shot. It's not like you'll be bringing this amount in every week. Call the larger yard of your choice, and ask to talk to a buyer - they might bump you up pricing levels; they might not. Usually you need a business account set up, not just someone calling out of the blue to unload a whole bunch of copper.

Just my opinion, and others will probably chime in.

As Ryan mentioned, try Upstate Shredding / Ben Wietsman. Their price list does state"for larger quantities, call Steve green at 607 687 7777 for special pricing."
