What Is Clean Copper Tube?
Clean Copper Tube refers to copper pipe that is:
-
Free from fittings
-
Free from solder
-
Free from paint and heavy contamination
-
Not burnt
-
Separated from mixed copper
It is typically generated from plumbing removals, boiler replacements, heating system upgrades and site strip-outs.
The cleaner the pipe, the stronger the price per kg.
How Clean Copper Tube Differs from Other Grades
Clean Copper Tube is lower than Dry Bright Wire but higher than mixed or contaminated copper.
If fittings, brass joints or solder remain attached, the material may be downgraded.
For maximum value:
✔ Remove brass fittings
✔ Cut off soldered ends
✔ Keep separate from heavy copper and braziery
✔ Avoid mixing with burnt copper
Sorting correctly ensures you receive the correct copper scrap price.
Why Clean Copper Tube Has Strong Scrap Value
Copper is one of the most valuable non-ferrous metals due to its global demand in:
-
Construction
-
Electrical infrastructure
-
Renewable energy
-
Plumbing systems
Recycling copper uses significantly less energy than mining new material, which keeps recycled copper in constant demand.
Because of this, clean copper tube consistently commands strong scrap rates.
