Buying Scrap Wire

Hello I have decided to jump into the scrap wire buying to offer people who may not have time to strip wire and this option offers a little more money for them.

- All payments will be processed via paypal in under 48 hours after receiving and weighing shipment
- No minimum amount of wire, maximum of 250lbs
- Residental address with zip code 68135
- PM me or email me at recycometalrecycling@yahoo.com before sending a package or for more information
- Not accepting wire under 12" in length or heavily fire damaged wire
- Not buying coaxial cable or metal insulated wires

Any wire not on list and not approved by contacting me will result in being paid at .25/lb for copper wire, .10/lb for aluminum wire
Any extrusion on wire will be clipped before paid and if excessive will be a deduction of $.10/lb



12/2, 12/3, 12/4 and larger insulated romex (solid core) @ $1.00 / LB

10/2, 10/3, 10/4 insulated romex (solid core) @ $.80 / LB

14-18 guage insulated braided core wire @ $.70 / LB

14-18 guage solid core wire @ $.70 / LB

1-12 guage insulated solid core wire @ $1.00 / LB

1-12 guage braided core wire @ $.80 / LB

(No need to sort wires when sending, I will sort and send you your payment along with a list of what wires and how much of each kind you had)


Any wires you have that you may want to sell to me please email or pm me and I would be happy to identify how much I will pay for what you have!

(I will be adding more items to the list as I start getting questions of what I buy and see what people have and how much I can pay for it)

Thank you and hope to do business with some people soon! I apologize if what I am buying is not what you need or not worth shipping it to me.

so power supply wire would be like 20 gauge?

Congrats on making the leap...you might want to check that 10 ga at $80 a pound.

Thanks a lot. Most power supply wiring is 20 gauge and I do not purchase that, but if you find some that is 18 gauge I'd love to buy it! You can get a gauge checking tool like pictured above for like $.99 online or at a hardware store. I hope to be buying smaller wires soon in the future.

Here is a question. Do you measure the gauge of wire inside of the insulation, or is the gauge determined from the copper only ithout insulation?

Think of the packing when you buy it. I measure by that gauge aka the gauge of the wire with insulation on. With Romex its measured by the number of wires inside and gauge of them ex. 12 gauge 2 insulated = 12/2

Best wishes and best of luck to you. diligently study the metal market every day to be able to predict futures.

Thanks old dude I will definically make sure I can pay top dollar while still making money myself with all the crazy market drops.
