Clean, shiny, uncoated 16-gauge or thicker copper wire — the highest-paying grade in the yard. Stripped THHN and stranded wire from electricians, rewinding shops, and demolition jobs.
Bare bright is the benchmark grade: clean, shiny, uncoated wire 16 gauge or thicker. Any solder, coating, or corrosion drops it to #1 or #2 — which is why we grade wire strand by strand, not by the bucket.
