Answer 1

Copper anyway has a good value in the scrap market. I used to check http://www.recycleinme.com/scrapresource... for updated prices of scrap materials. May be it will be useful to you too.

Answer 2

copper scraps for about 3 dollars a pound.

so... if you give them 2000 lbs ( a ton ) of copper you should get app ...6,000 dollars depending on how much of the weight is actual copper.

Answer 3

Depending on where you take it, it could be worth even more. Good clean #1 copper, 12 gauge and larger, with no insulation and copper tubing without any fittings can bring up to $6,000.00 per ton!

Be advised, you will have to show and ID and they will check to see if it was stolen!
