Copper Electric Wire Scrap Recycling

Buffalo, NY Copper Electrical Wire Recycling

With the highest electrical conductivity rating across all non-precious metals, copper has been used in electrical wiring and cable conductor manufacturing for more than a century. Through advances in telecommunications and digital technology, the use of electricity continues to rapidly expand. Copper wire is a regularly sought after material for scrapping and recycling. 

What Items Commonly Contain Copper Wire? 

Electronic devices of all kinds include copper wiring and conductors, such as computers, televisions, and phones. Large household appliances like dishwashers, laundry units, and refrigerators also contain insulated copper wires. Additionally, smaller appliances ranging from coffee makers, toaster ovens, and blenders also include copper wiring in their circuitry.
