PRICING
What Affects the Price of Electrical Wire & Cable Scrap?
We do not publish fixed prices because metal prices change with global markets. These are the factors that move your quote. See also our scrap metal prices guide.
Copper content
Thicker cable with more copper returns more per kilo than thin or fine-strand wire.
Armour and insulation
Armoured cable carries steel or aluminium that is not copper. Tell us the type so we quote correctly.
Quantity and condition
Dry, uncontaminated cable in bulk is quicker to collect and weigh.
GET IT READY
How to Prepare Your Electrical Wire & Cable for Pickup
A little sorting makes pickup faster and can improve what you are paid. Our guide on what to keep separate when selling insulated copper cable covers the main sorting points.
- Keep cable dry and out of mud or oil
- Bundle and tie cable by type, with thick cable separate from thin
- Keep armoured cable apart from standard cable
- Never burn insulation off. It is unsafe and lowers the value
- Take a photo of the pile and estimate the weight
Before we buy: photo ID and a record of purchase are required. Payment is by bank transfer (EFT). Ferrous scrap (iron and steel) is only considered in bulk loads of 50 tonnes or more per load.
