Just about to sort out the stuff recovered from the CH and H&C - lots of
pipe and fittings plus radiators etc.

Any other advice on sorting out scrap to get the best value will be much
appreciated.

There is no point at all in separating domestic copper based scrap.
Unless it is as clean as freshly stripped copper cable, you will only
get brazier copper price.


Um....
So you are saying that the advice in the youtube video linked to in the OP
is not correct?

No idea, I didnt look at it.
Any corrosion inside a pipe makes it 'brazier copper'. It is rare to get
used pipe that has not got some evidence of corrosion in it, so, for the
small amounts of monetary gain by sorting domestic pipework, it just
isnt worth the effort trying to separate it out.

If however it was in the 100's of kilos, then it may well be worth it,
bit for less than 100kg, I wouldnt bother.
