Does it matter? It all depends where you take it and what they give you for it. This question comes up time and time again.

We had a load of threaded copper , the holy grail of copper pipe 35mm & 54mm , came out of a 8 bed mansion plumbed up in the 60's , only time I have ever seen it , looked like old black iron with all the dirt on it , untill u started cutting it
it caused momentary soon got over it though donated a piece to an acs training centre down in Sussex ! before I gave it to them I asked what the regs were for gas pipes in un protected stair wells when thay told me I gave em the copper , with the statement Bo**o**'s .At the pod over the bank holiday ??

Somewhere around £5 a kilo for clean copper pipe around here, but as a previous poster says, all depends where you take it. The best scrappy round here is about £5 a kilo, but there's another only giving £4:30p for the same stuff. If your taking a lot in, the 70p a kilo can make a considerable difference in how much you get back.
Last time me and my brother took a load of old copper in, we got over £900. The other scrappy would have only given us £850 for the same amount.

Hey Iron, what are you driving?

More relevant than the price per kilo they advertise is the weight per kilo that pay you out on!
I used to have a friend who bought a scrap business and he told me that you cannot trade profitably unless you underweigh. He told me about a few of the tricks they use.
Try weighing some scrap yourself and then take it in and see what they weigh it at !

since it all gets "liberated" from peoples houses anyway its hardly worth nitpicking imo
