That depends on the going rate for copper that day and the type of scrap copper you have. Stripped shiny copper wire demands more than un-stripped. Today (1/21/11) I just got a call from someone offering $4/ lb un-stripped. That is pretty high. You can check with the City of San Diego recycling center for daily rates.

The current price of scrap copper depends on the grade (bare brite, stripped cable, #1, #2, buss bar, etc.) as well as the quantity you have and your location in the world. Specific to CA, the current price of heavy scrap copper is around $1.55 and #2 scrap copper is around $1.36. These prices do fluctuate on a daily basis.

Since prices are based upon the LME and Comex markets any prices that would be posted in the "current" timeframe would be obsolete by the nexy day or in next hour. As such, scrappers and recyclers should check online data sources and websites for daily scrap copper prices to ensure proper pricing of their scrap metals.

Scrap Iron in Northern California can run anywhere from .01 per pound all the way up to 500 dollars per pound. If you have scrap metal that doesn't make sense then you ain't going to get much. BUt if you have gold, let me tell you my friend, you would make a great amount of money. The logic behind this is simple. Gold is worth alot of money. But scrap Iron? Probably only get about 1.00 dollar per pound. Its not gold, just iron.
