Buying Copper Chop and Scrap

Copper chop and scrap is popular among a range of different metal buyers. 

Metalworkers, people who make specialty copper products like rounds, bars, or novelty items, love copper chop and scrap because it gives them access to easily meltable, highly pure copper. For the average copper stacker, large bags of copper chop or scrap make it easy to save money on premiums while buying pure copper.

Whether you’re a copper metalworker, a small business owner, or just a stacker who loves high-purity copper, Hero Bullion’s selection of copper chop and scrap copper products can help you get more of what you love.

What is Copper Chop?

Copper chop describes copper wires that have been stripped of their plastic insulation and chopped into small granular bits. A bag of copper chop can contain multiple pounds of these tiny copper pieces, which are typically 99.9% pure copper.

Because of the small size of each granulated piece of copper in copper chop and the high purity of this product, copper chop is an excellent choice for investors or metal workers who need a large amount of copper with minimal impurities.

To create copper chop, manufacturers begin by removing the plastic or insulation from the outside of highly pure copper wiring. Then, the wiring is fed through a machine that ‘chops’ it into fine bits of fine copper. The result? A high number of largely uneven pieces of chopped copper.

Hero Bullion offers three options for bags of copper chop:

• 5 Pound Bag of Copper Chop
• 10 Pound Bag of Copper Chop
• 50 Pound Bag of Copper Chop

Copper chop is shipped in bags of 5, 10, or 50 pounds. Each order is packaged inside of our branded Hero Bullion bags, giving investors both a high quantity of copper and a great display/storage piece.

Copper Chop & Scrap vs. Rounds or Bars

Copper chop is a different kind of investment compared to rounds, bars, and other processed copper products. Scrap copper and copper chop are not intended to be very aesthetically pleasing; most copper chop is nothing more than a large number of small chunks of pure copper.

While this makes copper chop a poor display piece compared to decorative copper coins, bars, or novelty products, copper chop’s minimalist nature means that it is ideal for investors who want to get as much copper as possible for their money.

Copper chop also offers investors a great deal of flexibility. Online dealers like Hero Bullion offer a range of differently weighted bags of copper chop, including 5 pounds, 10 pounds, and 50 pounds. No matter what your desired investment size, bags of copper chop can help you reach your investment goals.

Who Should Buy Copper Chop and Scrap?

Scrap copper and copper chop are great options for several different types of copper buyers. Dedicated copper stackers can benefit from the customizability of copper chop bags, the high purity of copper chop, and the affordability of copper chop and scrap compared to other processed copper bullion products.

Another great use of copper chop and scrap is in the refining and production industry. Whether you’re a small business owner, a hobbyist, or something in between, buying scrap copper and bags of copper chop can give you the highly pure, meltable copper you need to produce the products you enjoy.

Even investors who don’t usually buy copper can benefit from buying a few bags of copper chop and scrap. Copper tends to be less volatile than gold, silver, and other precious metals, making it an excellent store of value. Copper’s affordability gives it a lower entry point than gold or silver, and copper chop/scrap is the best way to cut down on premiums while buying copper in bulk.

Storing Copper Chop & Scrap

Storing copper chop and scrap copper is typically simple, especially compared to more expensive assets like gold, silver, or platinum. Hero Bullion’s bags of copper chop come pre-packaged in large Hero Bullion branded canvas bags, giving investors a great place to store their metal.

Although copper chop and scrap copper tend to lose less value when exposed to the elements compared to copper rounds or coins, highly oxidized copper can be downgraded. Downgraded copper, which is copper that is more oxidized or contaminated, is worth less to refiners and scrappers than uncontaminated copper.

For this reason, we typically recommend storing your copper chop and scrap in a dry place. The more you can keep oxygen away from your copper, the better. That being said, even downgraded copper can still be purchased and sold, so investors are not likely to lose a substantial amount of value on their copper if it eventually oxidizes.
