CopperWireScrapMetal.com is an independent information resource built to help people understand which types of cable are worth collecting for their copper, from power cords and building wire to data, coax, armoured and car wiring, which carry little or no copper, and how to identify an unknown cable before you sell it.
Why We Built This
People collect cable hoping for copper and are often disappointed by what is inside. We built this site to explain, cable type by cable type, what is likely to be worth selling and what is not, so that your effort goes where it pays.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
CopperWireScrapMetal.com is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on cable types, ScrapTrade is where sorted cable becomes offers from verified buyers, with transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
What We’re Not
We’re not a scrap buyer and we don’t handle transactions directly through this site — this is an information resource. For the actual buying and selling, head to ScrapTrade.
Knowing your cable saves a lot of effort. ScrapTrade connects you with verified buyers, transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
