Metal Recycling for Electrical & Plumbing Companies
As an electrical and plumbing company, you constantly generate high value scrap metal from demolitions, installations and maintenance. The waste from copper lines, pipe stubs and old fixtures isn't just waste -- it's an untapped revenue source.
Traditional handling of this copper scrap and brass scrap are often time consuming and based on rough flat rates, resulting in you leaving money on the table. With Skrotify, you get a digital, transparent and efficient solution to transform your Electrical & plumbing scrap to maximum profit.
The 3 Highest Valued Scrap Categories for Your Industry
We help you identify the most profitable materials in your daily work:
1. Scrap Copper: The Core for Electricity and Plumbing
Copper is the most expensive metal you handle and its value must be accurately classified:
- For Electric Companies: The focus is on cable scrap — everything from thick power cables to installation cables. We analyze it actual copper content (Millberry, K1/K2) in insulated cable scrap to avoid low flat rates.
- For plumbing companies: Focuses on clean copper pipe scrap and spills from installations. Pure, unbleached copper has a very high copper scrap price.
2. Brass & Pipe Fittings: The Plumbing Specialty
All old valves, fittings, faucets and plumbing fixtures contain brass, a valuable alloy of copper and zinc. It is important that this material does not mix with ordinary iron. Skrotify ensures that your brass scrap be properly analyzed to ensure that you are properly paid for the content of the alloy.
3. Iron & Stainless Steel: Volume and Special Case
When demolishing, large volumes of pipes and fasteners are generated in iron. Although scrap iron has a lower price per kilogram, it is important to separate:
- Stainless Steel Tubes: Stainless steel pipes, couplings and tanks (containing expensive Nickel) should always be separated from ordinary iron to maximize the price.
- Galvanized Pipe Scrap: Handled separately from pure black iron.
