Metalico Metals buys every type of insulated cable you might have. We accept household electrical wiring including 1.5mm², 2.5mm², and 4mm² TPS cables with plastic insulation. We purchase power cables like 6mm² to 35mm² flex cables and heavy-duty industrial cables up to 400mm². We buy network cables including Cat5, Cat6, and coaxial cables with copper conductors. Our team processes automotive wiring harnesses, telecom cables, and underground armoured cables. We have specialised equipment to accurately determine the copper or aluminium content. Whether you have a small box of cords or truckloads of industrial cables, we’ll weigh them accurately and pay you on the spot.

Insulated cables contain valuable copper or aluminium conductors surrounded by plastic, rubber, or PVC insulation. The value varies significantly based on the metal content – copper cables being worth 3-4 times more than aluminium. Cable thickness matters tremendously: 16mm² cables contain much more metal than 1.5mm² types. At Metalico Metals, we use sophisticated weight-to-metal ratio calculations depending on jacket thickness and insulation type. We categorise cables into multiple price brackets based on conductor size, their metal type, metal purity, and gauge (thickness). High-grade copper cables like THHN building wire typically fetch top prices due to their high copper content and clean insulation. Coaxial and data cables have lower values because they contain less metal per kilogram. Our scales are certified and accurate to 0.01kg, ensuring precise measurement of even small quantities. We offer transparent pricing based on current metal market rates. You’ll always get the true value of your cables without any hidden deductions.
Did you know that recycling 1 tonne of copper cables saves enough energy to power 22 homes for a month? Insulated cables are 100% recyclable. Both the metal conductors and the plastic insulation can be processed and reused in new products. A single kilometre of copper cable contains over 600kg of pure copper, that’s a goldmine in your junk pile. Your old wires could become new car parts or solar panels.
When cables end up in landfills, they can take up to 500 years to break down, with their insulation potentially leaching harmful chemicals into soil and groundwater. The copper recovered from recycled cables is identical in quality to newly mined copper. Yet requires 85% less energy to process. Australians discard 150,000+ tonnes of cables yearly. Australia recycles enough copper from cables annually to circle the Earth more than seven times if laid end-to-end. By recycling with Metalico Metals, you’re part of an industry that reduces mining demand by 40% worldwide.
