About Scrap Copper Prices Houston
Scrap Copper Prices Houston is a free, neutral Houston scrap copper price guide, part of the Scrap Copper Prices Today network. We help sellers understand grades, estimate material value and compare Houston yards.
The Scrap Copper Prices Today network was built by a family of scrap metal merchants trading since 1950. Scrap Copper Prices Houston brings that experience to a free local price guide.
We are not a scrap yard and do not buy or weigh material. The prices on this site are estimates; individual yards set their own buying prices and decide final grades, accepted weights and terms.
Use the grade guides and calculator to understand what you have, then compare 55+ Houston scrap yards on Scrap Copper Prices Today. The separate COMEX section shows copper-futures market data, not the price a yard will pay for scrap.
If you request offers, your contact details and material information may be shared with Houston yards so they can answer your request. Yards wanting to list or publish prices should visit Scrap Copper Prices Today.
Common questions
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Texas scrap dealers must record seller information, and additional documentation may be required for some materials. Check the receiving yard’s requirements before travelling.
Grades reflect copper content, cleanliness and attachments. Bare bright generally means clean, uncoated copper wire; #1 copper is clean copper without significant contamination; #2 copper may include solder, paint or other contamination. Insulated wire is assessed by its recoverable copper content. Each yard makes its own final grading decision.
Yards set their own buying prices based on market conditions, processing costs, demand, material grade and load size. A price shown by one yard is not a guaranteed price at another. Compare yards and confirm the rate for your material.
Separate copper by grade, remove non-copper attachments where safe and practical, and describe your material accurately. Compare Houston yards through the Scrap Copper Prices Today network and confirm grading, rates and any deductions before selling.
The calculator multiplies the displayed guide price for the selected grade by your entered weight, converting weight units where needed. These are estimates, not offers. Final grades, accepted weights and buying prices are determined by the receiving yard. COMEX is a separate copper-futures market reference, not a scrap buying rate.
