Scrap cable is one of the most common materials electricians, builders, and demolition contractors end up with — and it's worth more than most people think. The value depends on the copper content: heavy-gauge electrical cable with thick copper cores is worth significantly more than thin data cable or aluminium-core cable.

We buy all types of scrap cable from Melbourne — household electrical cable (TPS, flat twin), armoured cable, single-core cable, data and communications cable, automotive wiring looms, and mixed cable bundles. We price based on the copper content and the type of insulation, and we'll tell you exactly what your cable is worth before you commit.

Electricians doing rewires or switchboard upgrades often end up with significant quantities of cable. If you're pulling out old wiring on a regular basis, it's worth keeping it separate and bringing it in as a clean load — you'll get a better price than mixed or tangled cable. For large loads from commercial or industrial jobs, we can arrange collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it matter if my cable is still insulated?

No — we buy insulated cable. The price is lower than stripped copper wire because of the insulation, but you don't need to strip it yourself unless you want to maximise the price.

Is aluminium cable worth selling?

Yes, but aluminium is worth less per kilogram than copper. Aluminium-core cable is priced separately from copper cable. We'll identify your material and price it accordingly.

I'm an electrician — can I sell cable offcuts regularly?

Absolutely. We work with electricians regularly. Keep your cable offcuts separate by type and bring them in as a clean load for the best price.

Can you collect large cable loads from a job site?

Yes — for large quantities from commercial or industrial jobs, we can arrange collection. Call 0449 060 697 to discuss.
