Copper, a seemingly ordinary metal, plays a crucial role in everything from the electrical wires in our homes to the renewable energy technologies shaping our future.

In this edition of Scrap Talk live from Morristown Iron and Metal, hosts Ross Litz and Kip Brown delve into the topic of copper recycling.

They cover the importance of copper, its value in the scrap industry, and the regulations around selling copper in Tennessee, including the necessity of providing ID, a fingerprint, and awaiting a mailed check due to pre-regulation.

The hosts provide a detailed explanation of the different grades of copper, such as 'bare bright', number one, and number two copper, including the characteristics that differentiate these grades. They also discuss insulated copper wires and their value.
