Sell cable scrap with honest recovery calculations.
Cable value is entirely about copper percentage versus plastic jacket insulation. We provide transparent recovery benchmarks for low, medium, and high-voltage electrical scrap.
Common cable types
Materials & Grades Bought
We accept clean separated batches or mixed lots with transparent weight grading.
Single-Core Heavy Feeder Cable
Pencil-thick and heavier transmission conductors with 65%-80% copper recovery.
Steel Wire Armored Cable (SWA)
Underground high-voltage cables with galvanized outer steel wire wrap.
Domestic Building Wire (THHN / PVC)
Standard 2.5mm to 10mm conduit copper wire with 45%-55% recovery.
Copper Busbars & Switchgear Conductors
Solid bare copper rectangular bars from electrical distribution boards.
Oil & Dry-Type Transformers
High-voltage substation and commercial distribution step-down transformers.
How This Material Is Evaluated
- 01
Net Metal Yield (Recovery %)
The true weight of copper chops once outer rubber, PVC, and lead sheathing are removed mechanically.
- 02
Armoring and Lead Sheaths
Steel armor and lead moisture barriers require multi-step granulating separation, which adjusts net pricing.
Tips Before Requesting Collection
- Never burn cables — open burning violates Saudi environmental laws and degrades the copper remelt grade.
- Keep heavy high-recovery cables separated from thin multi-strand data wires to protect your high payout rate.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I strip the wire myself before selling?
For thin residential wires, stripping takes hours and loses 40% weight with minimal net gain. For heavy cables (>16mm), stripping makes sense only if you have mechanical equipment.
Do you accept aluminum cables?
Yes, overhead aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) and insulated aluminum cables are evaluated under aluminum scrap rates.
