Can you give me a quote for processing electrical contacts that have been removed from busbars? – Chad in Abilene, TX
Hi Chad,
We would offer between $10-$15 per pound depending on the quality and silver content. For those of you who do not know what busbars are, they are used in electrical power distribution and are usually made of copper or aluminum. So, you may be asking yourself where the silver content comes in. Often the joints between high-current bus sections have silver-plated surfaces to reduce contact resistance. These scrap silver electrical contacts can be ideal for refining.

I am trying to sell silver contacts from 80 DC circuit breakers.
