What Is Bare Bright Copper Wire?
Bare bright wire is the highest grade of copper scrap. It’s at least 16-gauge thick, uncoated, unalloyed, and free of insulation or tarnish. Typically, it appears as shiny, reddish-orange strands of solid copper—often left over from electrical work or industrial wiring. This premium status ensures you get the highest price from our recycling company.

The Importance of Copper Recycling
Recycling copper, like bare bright wire, benefits the environment significantly. It conserves natural resources by reducing the need for new mining, which is energy-intensive and disruptive to ecosystems. By participating in scrap metal recycling, you help lower greenhouse gas emissions and promote a more sustainable circular economy for future generations.
