Copper Scrap Prices in Port Arthur, Texas

Copper is the most valuable metal that comes across our scales, and it is priced by the pound and by grade. The prices below are what Port Arthur Recycling is paying today — they come straight from the same pricing system our cashiers use, so the number you see here is the number you get at the window.

A lot of the copper we buy in the Golden Triangle comes out of plant maintenance, electrical work, and demolition: wire pulls, tubing, bus bar, and motor windings. Whether you are an electrician with a week of wire ends or a homeowner with a box of old pipe, the process is the same — drive up, weigh, get paid.
