What we accept
Insulated wire
No stripping required to sell. #1 wires are heavy cables with a clean copper core; #2 wires are thinner, tinned, or multi-layer insulated wires. The higher the copper-to-insulation ratio, the better the price, a heavy power cable holds proportionally far more copper than an appliance cord.
BX / MC cable
Cable in flexible aluminum armour (BX) is its own grade, common in residential and commercial electrical work.
Network cable
Thin data cables, Ethernet, telephone, accepted as a separate grade.
Stripped wire
Clean stripped copper wire moves into the copper grades, including bare bright for heavy shiny wire. See our copper page for details.
Important: never burn your wire
Burning insulation off wire is illegal and dangerous, and burnt wire is refused at our yard. Sell your insulated wire as-is, it's simple and it pays.
Preparation tips
- ✓Sort cables by type (heavy cable, thin wire, BX, network): each grade has its own price.
- ✓Never burn insulation off, burnt wire is refused.
- ✓Remove bulky power adapters and connectors when it's easy.
- ✓Before stripping heavy cable, call us: depending on the type, it isn't always worth the effort.
