👇🏾 below 👍🏾 Copper tends to yield the most money compared to other recyclable scrap metal. If you renovate your home or own a business that produces junk metal, consider recycling it for extra cash. Most copper wire requires a little prep work to command the highest price. It often has insulation or other attached components that brings its value down. Collect scrap copper wire until you have about 20 lbs. or more, remove the components and bring it to a recycling center to sell. 1. Separate your copper wire into grades. Grade three includes copper foil and other thin pieces of copper. Grade two includes copper wire that is corroded, tarnished or painted. Grade one copper wire is clean and has no paint, varnish or any other alterations. Recycling centers pay the most for grade one wire and the least for grade three. 2. Call local recycling centers and junk or scrap centers and ask about their current copper prices. The price of copper fluctuates often and you might find a better deal depending on where you go. Ask each recycling center if they give you a lower price for your copper wire that still has insulation attached to it. 3. Remove any metallic components the copper wire might have. These can include end fittings and brass connectors. Removing these components raises the value of the copper, but leave them on if they do not come off easily with your hands. 4. Strip the insulation off if the recycling center pays less for wire with insulation. Slide a sharp knife along the insulation and peel it off. Small-gauge copper wire is challenging to strip; if you have trouble, leave the wire as is and avoid risking injury to your hands. 5. Bring your copper wire to the recycling center and watch while the clerk weighs it. Ensure that none of the wire hangs over the edge of the scale. The clerk calculates the price he will pay you based on how heavy the copper wire is. Things Needed Warnings Avoid burning copper wire to remove the insulation. (reference 2) Avoid selling to recycling centers or scrap dealers who use portable scales. These scales can become inaccurate and you might make less for your wire. How do you recycle copper wire? How do you clean scrap copper wire? What is the scrap price for copper wire? Can you scrap copper wire?

Isn’t the oil carcinogenic ?? I may be mistaken but years ago an old guy told me there were PCB’s in commercial transformer oil.

[@brianbarrett3468]

Yes, I believe it to be extremely toxic to humans and most animals

[@buckbundy8642]

No. It’s made from seed oils.

[@ryanjones7543]

I noticed transformers from some electronics I took apart had an odor, almost metallic smell....wh at is that?

[@galeselvage4002]

yes you are right

[@blitzerrrrrrr]

If the oil was made before the seventies it had pcb'sin it. todays oil is mostly mineral oil or silicone oil, silicone being cheaper to insure because it doesnt burn if the transformer caught on fire, example a lightning strike or a short in one of the coils.

You should see the Transformers Inside old forklift battery chargers I bought one from a scrap yard for 50 bucks and within an hour had 60 lb of copper from these two Transformers inside of it alone and the windings were half inch square pieces of copper not actual wire

Yes that's the best way to assure the workers have a bout with some form of, usually brain cancer In the future. The oil is toxic/radioactive. I've handled such oil in my younger years one time and was surprised to find simply allowing it to get on my hands was enough to cause my mouth to become completely numb. I quickly realized I shouldn't be playing with that crap. It's almost not worth going after the copper due to having to deal with the oil which almost always finds it's way into the ground at the spot where the transformer is dropped/stolen off the telephone pole.

OMG, This must be Mexico. In the USA even the 'non-PCB oil has some PCBs in it as both were made in the same plant. Now of course, nowadays totally non PCB oil is used. IT MIGHT be that non PCB oil was used in these countries as PCB oil was more expensive. By the way oil is used as an insulator.
