Wires & Cables Questions
Common questions about wires & cables recycling.
Back to Electronics arrow_forwardBased on copper recovery rate — the percentage of copper vs insulation by weight. Heavy-gauge building wire (60-70% copper) pays more than thin communication cable (20-30% copper). We can strip or chop at our facility.
For heavy-gauge wire (#4 and larger), stripping to bare copper significantly increases value. For thin wire, the labor cost of manual stripping exceeds the value gained — sell it insulated and we'll process it mechanically.
Yes. Aluminum wire is priced separately from copper. Clean aluminum building wire is accepted in commercial quantities.
Yes. Cat5, Cat6, and fiber optic cable from office and data center decommissions. Copper content from data cables has value. We handle bulk removal as part of IT decommission projects.
