Copper is one of the most valuable metals in the recycling industry, known for its excellent conductivity, durability, and versatility. Mixed copper wire recycling involves recovering copper from wires of various sizes, types, and compositions. Mixed copper wires are usually assorted insulated copper wires, that comes with or without attachments (plugs and ends). These wires are commonly used for powering your electrical systems, household appliances, and electronic devices, among other sources. The process typically involves sorting, stripping, and processing the wires to extract the valuable copper material. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of mixed copper wire recycling, offering practical tips and a step-by-step process to ensure that your recycling efforts are efficient and effective.

• Mixed Copper Wires (Insulated) with attachments – Recyclable
• Mixed Copper Wires (Insulated) without attachments- Recyclable

• Sort the Wires
  Begin by sorting your copper wires. Separate insulated wires from bare copper wires. Bare copper is often more valuable and easier to process, so keeping it separate from insulated wires can increase the value of your recycled material.
• Remove Contaminants
  Mixed copper wires should always be free from contaminants – plastic bags, cable ties, strings, or rubber bands.
