today i want to talk to everyone about barley or brian shiny copper it’s the highest tier of material that we buy from our customers is has to be wired and it has to be bright and shiny it can’t have a silver coating a nickel coating it can’t have anything of that nature on it you can see it is like this size right here which this was a mcm grade of insulated copper that someone probably stripped to upgrade you can also strip the lower gauge stuff too to this right here this right here is the mcm grade as you can see on this cut end if you strip the rest of this off it is bright and shiny you can upgrade it pretty easily however we do buy all our material off percentages as most scrapyards do and we happen to granulate this into a number one copper chop this is roughly 90 to 92 percent copper here is a bowl of our copper chop it’s number one this is a little finer grated than this mcm that you see here i didn’t have any available of the thicker material but it’s number one chop

it’s all our number one wire we’re running through a granulator
