Copper recycling is an important industry for environmental reasons.
Copper has been in use for more than 10,000 years! In modern times, one of the most common uses for copper is wiring, as it is a non-precious, non-ferrous metal that conducts electricity efficiently. It is also one of the most popular metals for recycling, as copper recycling requires less energy than producing it from ore.
Did you know that nearly all of your appliances and your HVAC equipment have between 1 and 52 pounds of copper? In fact, the typical home has anywhere from 125 to 200 pounds of copper in it. The next time you have an old appliance to toss out, instead of taking it to the landfill, reach out to us at Power Force Recycling so that we can pay you for the copper.
We also work with Largo, Florida contractors, such as electricians and HVAC professionals, who routinely have scrap copper to dispose of. We can arrange regular pick-up appointments at your business to haul away your copper and other metal scrap and put cash in your hand on the spot based on current metal prices.
Copper recycling is an important industry for environmental reasons. It takes less energy to recycle copper than to deal with virgin ore. In addition, with nearly a third of copper products being made through copper recycling, that is many metric tons of copper kept out of landfills. An interesting fact is that this nation is the second-highest copper producer in the world and supplies approximately 8 percent of the rest of the world’s copper. It stands to reason that a great deal is saved through copper recycling.
Reach out today if you would like to know more about copper recycling or arrange an appointment to have us pick up your scrap copper at your home, business, or jobsite.
