Why us

Recyclers, not just scrap traders

Most scrap yards buy cable and pass it on. We process it ourselves in Arundel, separating the copper from the insulation so both get used again.

ElectriciansA/C installersSecurity & AVSolar installersBuildersWorkshopsHouseholds

Real recycling

Our stripping and granulating equipment recovers up to 97% of the copper from cable. The copper goes back into new electrical products and the insulation into products like playground matting and flooring.

You deal directly with the owner. Honest weights, today's rates and payment before we leave.

Licensed and compliant

We're a licensed second-hand dealer. Every purchase is recorded with ID, photos and a proper receipt.

Built around trades

Clear your offcuts and changeover gear without a trip to the yard. No minimum load, and same-day pickup where we can.
