At MetalCycle, we provide specialist cable recycling and disposal services for businesses of all sizes across the UK.
Cable waste is made up of a metal conductor, usually copper or aluminium, wrapped in plastic or rubber insulation. Some cables also have steel wire armour or foil shielding. Electrical cable recycling separates these materials so the metal can be recovered and reused, and nothing valuable ends up in landfill.
Whether you’re an electrical contractor with drums of offcuts or a telecoms engineer removing old lines, our cable recycling service makes disposal simple and efficient.
Waste cable builds up fast on projects and refurbishments. It tangles, takes up space and holds copper and aluminium that is worth recovering.
Choosing our cable recycling service means your waste is processed properly. It is granulated or stripped to separate the metal from the insulation, the copper and aluminium go back into the supply chain, and the plastic is recovered wherever possible.
Twin and earth, flex, mains and power cable from installation and strip-out work.
SWA and heavy-duty power cable from industrial, utility and construction projects.
TV, satellite, CCTV and RF coaxial cable, loose or on drums.
