Absolutely – most cables contain recyclable metals, some of which are relatively valuable (i.e. copper). Many cables are considered to be e-waste, so Maxilead Metals is capable of recycling them.
The value of scrap cables and wires is determined by the type and amount of metal they contain, as well as the amount of work it will take to process that metal.
There is no fixed price for scrap metal, as it fluctuates depending on the demands of the market. To get the best possible rate for your cables, you may decide to carefully strip them down to the bare metal before recycling them.
Maxilead Metals, based at Parr Bridge Works, Mosley Common Road, Tyldesley, Manchester, will accept any and all scrap cables for recycling.
Absolutely – we have a full complement of industrial cable processing equipment, all of which is suitable for the recycling of almost any type of wiring or cable.
