Scrap copper prices in Dewsbury fluctuate but at Nelson Scrap, we have been paying consistently fair prices for all scrap metal for the last thirty years. As with all commodities, copper prices go up and down with the demand. Copper prices show very little fluctuation down because there is almost always a demand, and it continues to increase; up 250% over the last forty years. Globally that’s an increase from 5 million to 20 million tons of copper. About half the demand in the UK is met with recycled copper which helps insure availability for future needs. As technology use grows and evolves the demand for copper increases. As a superior conductor, copper in chips completes an all copper chain for electronic data between the computer and the user.
Recycled copper is essential to the supply chain to keep consumer prices in check and responsibly manage our natural resources for copper. We feel we must offer recyclers in Dewsbury scrap copper prices as an incentive. When electronics reach their useful life end, we want to ensure the end user responsibly recycles all copper containing products. The list of products containing electronics and therefore copper is endless. Every last scrap of the copper can be recycled repeatedly. Copper from your washing machine can go next into your smart phone and again into your automobile and again into a wind turbine. In Europe we reuse millions of tons of copper each year from used up products and manufacturer waste.
At Nelson Scrap, scrap copper prices in Dewsbury reflect the infinite use of copper in our modern society. Your average home will contain about 100 kg of copper in the plumbing, electrical, appliance components and devices like computers and smartphones. We want to buy the copper either directly from you or indirectly as you recycle the product appropriately. We will collect your manufacturing copper scrap from you and pay you for the privilege. One wind turbine contains about 5 tons of copper. If you have one lying about call us and we will retrieve it. If you don’t have one but you support clean wind energy, contact Nelson Scrap to recycle every scrap of copper you can. At 5 tonnes per turbine, our world will need it.
