What Scrap Metals Are Worth the Most at HSI Recycling?
Formerly Langhorne Scrap Metal Recycling – Now Under New Management as HSI
Not all scrap metal is created equal. Whether you’re a contractor, plumber, electrician, or just cleaning out your garage, knowing which metals carry the most value can mean the difference between pocket change and a serious payout.
At HSI Recycling in Langhorne, PA—formerly Langhorne Scrap Metal and now under new, hands-on management—we’re here to help you get the most for every load. Here’s a breakdown of the most valuable scrap metals we pay top dollar for at our yard.
1. Copper: The King of Scrap

Clean, stripped copper wire (known as #1 copper) can bring in a premium price, while insulated copper wiring and tubing (#2 copper) still hold serious value.Who’s it for? Electricians, HVAC installers, and demolition crews.

Brass—often found in plumbing fixtures, valves, and radiators—is another heavy hitter in the scrap world. It’s easy to handle, fairly clean, and carries a solid per-pound rate.Who’s it for? Plumbers, commercial construction crews, and renovators.
3. Aluminum: Lightweight and Worth It
Aluminum is light, but it adds up fast. Whether it’s from siding, window frames, or auto parts, clean aluminum can still net you a respectable return—especially in bulk.Pro Tip: Keep it clean and separate from steel for higher value.Who’s it for? Roofers, window installers, and auto techs.
4. Stainless Steel: Strong and Steady
While not as valuable as copper or brass, stainless steel is commonly found in appliances, commercial kitchens, and jobsite debris. It’s durable, recyclable, and best of all—HSI takes it in all forms.Who’s it for? Welders, HVAC crews, and commercial contractors.
5. Lead and Specialty Alloys: Hidden Goldmines
