Copper pipes are commonly used in plumbing and heating systems due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and excellent thermal conductivity.

Copper is a valuable and recyclable material that plays a crucial role in sustainability. Recycling copper pipes helps conserve natural resources, save energy, and reduce environmental impact. At Gee Hoe Seng Pte Ltd, we offer efficient and eco-friendly recycling services to help you manage your copper waste responsibly. This guide provides comprehensive steps and tips for recycling copper pipes, ensuring you make the most out of this valuable resource while contributing to a greener planet.

Generally, there are two main types of copper pipes (reddish-brown metal), painted and unpainted copper pipes, all of which, are recyclable!

• Copper Pipes (Unpainted): Recyclable and generally more valuable due to less processing required.
• Copper Pipes (Painted): Also recyclable but often valued lower due to the additional effort required to remove paint and contaminants.

• Keep Pipes Clean & Separate Materials
  Brass is commonly found in copper plumbing pipes. Ensure that the copper pipes are free from contaminations – eg: brass, iron, and other recycling contamination. As copper fetches a higher value as compared to brass, separate your copper pipings from your brass plumbing fittings, to get the most of your recyclables.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure your copper pipes are recycled effectively, maximizing both environmental and economic benefits.
