Copper Scrap Recycling in Willoughby, OH

Victor Metals Inc., operating as V-V Metals, has bought industrial scrap out of Northeast Ohio since 1986. We serve the Lost Nation Road and Glenn Avenue machining district and about twenty minutes east via Route 2.

Copper

What does copper scrap recycling in Willoughby 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.

Willoughby and the Lost Nation airport district hold a concentration of aerospace-adjacent job shops, so unmarked stainless and nickel superalloy off-cuts turn up regularly and need identifying before they are priced. 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 Willoughby?

We buy solids, wire, turnings, foil, powder, spills and puckable fines generated across the Lost Nation Road and Glenn Avenue machining district, in quantities from a single drum up to steady roll-off volume.

  • #2 copper, sheet, tube and mixed unalloyed copper

  • Copper foil, powder, oxidized and red powder
  • Copper-clad material, spills and puckable fines

How It Works

What you get on a Willoughby 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 Willoughby 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 Willoughby ships straight to copper refiners and rod mills, which is what lets us hold a competitive number on copper.
