Copper Scrap Recycling in Wickliffe, OH

Victor Metals Inc., operating as V-V Metals, has bought industrial scrap out of Northeast Ohio since 1986. We serve the Euclid Avenue and Lloyd Road plant cluster off the Route 2 spur and roughly fifteen minutes from our scale straight down Route 2.

Copper

What does copper scrap recycling in Wickliffe involve?

V-V Metals buys and recycles copper scrap in nearly every industrial form -- #1 and #2 copper, bare bright and insulated wire, EDM wire, tube and bus bar cut-offs, turnings, foil, powder, oxidized red powder, spills and puckable fines.

Wickliffe runs to chemical, coatings and specialty processing work alongside metal fabrication, so residue and process-material streams tend to matter here as much as clean solids. That is the practical reason we grade tightly instead of buying by the container.

Copper is priced off COMEX, so the money is made or lost in the grading. Our buyers separate #1 from #2, pull alloyed and clad material out of the mix, and pay each fraction on its own merit instead of averaging a whole load down to the lowest grade in the container.

Accepted Material

What copper do you buy in Wickliffe?

We buy solids, wire, turnings, foil, powder, spills and puckable fines generated across the Euclid Avenue and Lloyd Road plant cluster off the Route 2 spur, in quantities from a single drum up to steady roll-off volume.

  • #1 copper solids, punchings and bus bar drops
  • #2 copper, sheet, tube and mixed unalloyed copper
  • Bare bright, insulated building wire and EDM wire
  • Copper turnings, chips and high-grade grinds
  • Copper foil, powder, oxidized and red powder
  • Copper-clad material, spills and puckable fines

How It Works

What you get on a Wickliffe account

Loads are weighed on a certified scale, sampled for moisture and non-metallic attachment, then graded against ISRI specifications. You get the grade breakdown on the settlement sheet, not a single lump number.

  • Certified scale weights with a printed grade-by-grade settlement sheet
  • Container, gaylord, drum or roll-off placement sized to your copper volume
  • Segregation guidance so bare bright and #1 do not get downgraded in the box
  • Scheduled or on-call pickup coordinated around your production window
  • Direct shipment to copper mills, refiners and smelters -- never to another dealer

How is my copper load priced?

Loads are weighed on a certified scale, sampled for moisture and non-metallic attachment, then graded against ISRI specifications. You get the grade breakdown on the settlement sheet, not a single lump number. Copper is priced off COMEX, so the money is made or lost in the grading. Our buyers separate #1 from #2, pull alloyed and clad material out of the mix, and pay each fraction on its own merit instead of averaging a whole load down to the lowest grade in the container.

Why sell copper scrap to V-V Metals instead of a local Wickliffe yard?

Unlike many scrap companies, V-V Metals does not sell purchased material to other scrap dealer houses. Everything we buy goes directly to mills, foundries or smelters, so there is one margin between your dock and the end user instead of two or three. Material from Wickliffe ships straight to copper refiners and rod mills, which is what lets us hold a competitive number on copper.
