Keep copper streams clear and identifiable

Pipe, components and other copper pieces can be included in your enquiry.

Describe the insulation, fittings and connectors attached to collected cable.
Commercial build-up cleared
Accumulated business cable can be grouped for one organised collection.
Collect copper and cable as distinct scrap
Copper pipe, copper components and electrical cable are valuable recyclable materials, but mixed attachments can make a load harder to identify. We arrange copper cable recycling collection in Newcastle upon Tyne for smaller one-off quantities and accumulated commercial loads. Tell us whether you have clean copper, insulated cable or items with other metals attached. The amount, form and storage position all help us understand the job. If cable is wound, bundled or stored in containers, include this information when you enquire.
Separate clean copper from insulated cable
Keeping clean copper, insulated cable and mixed fittings in different groups makes the collection clearer. Cable composition and insulation can affect how the material is identified, while plugs, connectors and steel attachments create a mixed stream. You don't need to strip material solely for us. Instead, explain its current condition and share photographs if the load contains several cable types. We also need to know how much has accumulated and whether the collection point can be reached without moving unrelated stock.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to strip insulation from the cable?
No, don't strip cable solely for collection. Tell us whether it is insulated and describe any plugs, connectors or other fittings. Keeping different cable types in separate groups can help us identify the load.
Can copper pipe and cable be collected together?
Yes, both can form part of the same enquiry. Keep clean copper pipe and insulated cable in separate groups where practical. Explain the quantity of each and mention any mixed metal attachments.
What details help with a commercial cable load?
Provide an estimated quantity, describe how the cable is bundled or stored and explain access to the collection point. Photographs are useful when several cable types or large containers of material are involved.
