Aluminium or copper wires coated with rubber, plastic, or PVC are called insulated wires. Found across walls, appliances, machinery, and electrical renovation sites – everywhere you look. In the world of recycling, copper is the most preferred when considering insulated wiring. JMR fairly decides the true prices as per the market rate for each batch of copper, be it small or large in size, from the house renovation or commercial sites.
You might be surprised how much valuable wire scrap is sitting right under your nose. JMR regularly collects from:
Electricians and Electrical Contractors: Leftover cabling, off-cuts, and old wiring from completed jobs add up quickly. Instead of paying to dispose of it, sell it to JMR and walk away with cash.
Builders and Renovation Crews: Strip-outs and knockdowns produce significant amounts of electric cables, wiring looms, and mixed scrap. We’ll collect it straight from your site.
Factories and Manufacturers: Decommissioned machinery, production line rewiring, and facility upgrades all leave behind valuable insulated wire scrap in Melbourne that industrial clients regularly bring to JMR.
Homeowners and DIYers: Clearing out a shed or finishing a home renovation? Old extension leads, appliance cords, and wall wiring all count. No load is too small to ask about.
Demolition Contractors: Demolished building copper wiring delivers some highest scrap values. Our team is experienced in handling bulk wire loads from demolition sites efficiently.
JMR buys a wide range of insulated wire and electric cable types, including:
Single-core and multi-core copper cable, PVC-insulated wire, rubber-insulated wire, aluminium wiring, computer and data cables, extension leads and power cords, automotive wiring looms, and industrial electrical cables.
If you’re not sure whether your wiring qualifies, give us a ring — we’ll give you a straight answer fast.
Pricing insulated wire scrap in Melbourne depends on a few key factors, and at JMR, we’re always upfront about how we work it out:
Copper content: The higher the copper percentage inside the insulation, the better the rate. Thicker, heavier cable generally contains more copper.
Type of insulation: Clean PVC–coated wire and rubber-coated wire are assessed differently. Our team knows how to evaluate each type accurately.
Condition of the wire: Untangled, sorted wire is easier to process and attracts a better payout. That said, we accept messy or mixed loads too.
Current market rates: JMR prices are updated to reflect live commodity prices, so you’re always getting a fair and current rate — not a flat figure from months ago.
We use calibrated on-site scales, so you see exactly what your load weighs and what you’re being paid. No guesswork, no surprises.
