Insulated Wire Recycling for Electrical and Trade Work
Insulated wire is commonly recovered during electrical installations, building renovations, equipment replacement, HVAC work, telecommunications upgrades, and property cleanouts. Electricians, HVAC contractors, maintenance departments, and homeowners may generate Romex, THHN wire, power cable, communication wire, extension cords, harness wire, and other insulated materials. Customers with smaller quantities can bring eligible wire to our retail and public metal recycling location for inspection, weighing, and payment.
Pickup Options for Larger Quantities of Wire
Boxes of wire, power cable, wiring harnesses, and other non-ferrous materials can occupy valuable storage or workspace when they accumulate. Qualifying customers can request our mobile scrap metal pickup service for larger quantities of eligible insulated wire and other non-ferrous materials. Contact our team to confirm the material, estimated quantity, and pickup availability.
