Scrap Wire Melbourne — Cash for Copper Wire, Wiring Looms & More
Scrap wire is one of the most common materials we buy — and one of the most varied in terms of value. Bare bright copper wire is at the top of the price scale. Insulated copper wire is worth less because of the plastic coating. Automotive wiring looms are a mixed bag — they contain copper, but also plastic connectors and other materials that reduce the overall grade.
We buy all types of scrap wire from Melbourne — bare copper wire, insulated household wire, automotive wiring looms, transformer wire, motor windings, and mixed wire bundles. We grade the material when you bring it in and pay at current market rates. If you want to maximise your return, stripping insulation from wire before you bring it in will get you a better price.
Auto wreckers stripping vehicles, electricians doing rewires, and industrial businesses replacing equipment all generate wire scrap regularly. We're set up to handle regular loads — call us to discuss a drop-off or collection arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth stripping insulation off wire before selling?
For large quantities, yes — stripped bare copper wire fetches significantly more than insulated wire. For small amounts, the time investment may not be worth it. We'll buy it either way.
Do you buy automotive wiring looms?
Yes — we buy wiring looms from vehicles. They're priced as mixed wire because of the plastic connectors and insulation, but they're still worth selling.
What about transformer and motor winding wire?
Yes — transformer wire and motor windings are copper and worth good money. Bring them in and we'll assess the copper content and price accordingly.
Can you collect large wire loads from a workshop?
Yes — for large quantities we can arrange collection. Call 0449 060 697 to discuss.
