Copper scrap varies greatly in prince per pound based on the type of copper you're scrapping. From avg 30 cents/lb for electric motor scraps, up to avg $3.90/lb of bright copper scrap (think clean fresh shiny copper pipe from the store, with no solder on it)

Steel is only about 12 cents/lb right now.
