I’ve thought about getting into scrapping copper for money, is it worth it and where are some places I can find copper?

you're a fucking retard shut up

Put an ad in local papers that you'll buy scrap copper. Otherwise hit some scrap yards and srart tearing equipment down.

How much money you’d figure I could make by selling it per pound/kg?

The market fluctuates all the time. See what buyers are offering in your area. Prices can go up or down wildly in a week.

You don't get to choose, it's set by the market.

While that may be true for the market in general, copper prices tend to track the economy as a whole. And for that reason economists call it Dr Copper. When the economy is good, people buy more and that includes cars and houses and electronics. Which include lots of copper.

I see. Thank you. On the off chance, do you know if abandoned or building marked for construction are fair game or is that copper theft?

>where are some places I can find copper?
Without mining it or stealing it you don't just "find" copper. You have to be in a business that has access to scrap copper and brass. Like a plumber or electrician.
And as far as pricing, #1 copper is going for $3.00 a pound, #2 copper is $2.75 and clean brass is around $2.00 at scrap yards. Electrical wire pays more because it's 99% pure copper.
t. Plumber.

Don't forget to bring a silenced 22lr for the rats in that abandoned state project
