In the recycling game, copper wire is one of the most sought-after scrap materials, and that demand doesn’t go away, even if the wire still has its insulation on. At Eco Way Recycle, we’re in constant contact with guys from Davenport and we don’t turn our backs on customers just because their wire has been coated. We pay them for the copper inside instead
The payout rate is a reflection of the copper content because, let’s be honest, that insulation does lower the overall recovery yield compared to bare bright copper. Our staff are experts at checking out what you’ve brought in & giving you a fair price based on market prices. Because let’s face it, different grades of insulated wire have different values. We don’t make assumptions, we don’t generalise. Before you commit to anything we take a good look at your material & let you know what we can do for you
You’ll find that electricians, contractors, demolition teams & HVAC specialists in Davenport are always bringing in copper wire they’ve pulled from old jobs. Because, let’s be honest, it’s just easier to get rid of it with us rather than having it end up in the tip. And the local lads know they can rely on us for a fair & prompt assessment & payment.
We also get a lot of business from general contractors & homeowners doing reno’s & who come across copper wire in the process. The thing is, if you’re renovating an old place, you’ll often find a whole lot of copper wiring just lying around. If you’re going to upgrade or remove it anyway, it’s just silly to throw it away. Bring it to us instead. We don’t care if it’s a big load or a tiny bit. We’ll give you a fair return for whatever you bring in
One way to get a bit more cash is to strip the insulation off before bringing it in, but to be honest it’s up to you. We accept it just as it is, and process it ourselves because some folk just find it easier that way. We’ve got a system for dealing with it either way because some people just can’t be bothered stripping it themselves.
Wire grades can vary a lot depending on the type of wire, the gauge of the copper inside & how thick the insulation is. We don’t use a blanket rate for everything. We look at each lot individually & give you a price that reflects what you’ve actually brought in. We think that’s fairer than trying to average everything out into one big group. If you’ve got some top-grade wiring then we’ll pay you accordingly.
We keep an eye on the copper market & adjust our prices to reflect the current prices. Before you load up the car, give us a bell & we’ll give you the current prices. We’ll even give you a straight answer.
We also like to think that we offer a pretty relaxed atmosphere for folk who are bringing in wire for the first time. Not everyone with copper to recycle has a background in the trade, after all! So whether you’ve just finished a project, doing some cleaning out after a family member has passed, or you’re just a contractor doing a small job, you’re welcome. You don’t need to know the ins & outs before you come in. Our guys will evaluate the material & walk you through it.
Bring your copper to Eco Way Recycle & you can be sure you’ll get a fair price. We take evaluating your material seriously.
