    Post Copper Wire Recycling

    Recycling is a good way to make full use of the limit natural resources on earth and improve environment. Metal recycling and salvage companies buy copper wire scrap and send it for re-refining or smelting. There is a market for recycled copper wire almost in every country. Recycling not only means less new material is needed for manufacturing but also implies less copper will be dumped into landfills.

    Metal recycling is a synonym for saving raw materials and environmental protection. Nonferrous metals and precious metals are particularly suitable for recycling. The recycling of copper, sliver, gold and other nonferrous metals does not result in any quality loss of the metals and can be reused as often as required.
    However, some of the old copper wires are covered in insulation which must be removed before the copper wire can be recycled.



    The insulation can be safely removed by a mechanical process that cuts the insulation and strips it from the copper wire or by processing the insulated wire in an approved incinerator. Fortunately, the granulator can help you finish this task.

    What’s more, do not accept burned copper wire before granulating. Salvage yard operators and metal recyclers should not accept copper wire where there are signs or suspicions that the copper wire insulation has been burned off. Purchasing or receiving burned copper wire may result in enforcement action or incurring liability if contaminations occur. It could be a violation of The Hazardous Substances and Waste Dangerous Goods Regulations if you store burned copper wire.

    If you want to get a large quantity of copper granules in a low cost and make a contribution to the environmental protection, an excellent copper wire granulator is necessary and important.

    For those who may be puzzled by the reference to "The Hazardous Substances and Waste Dangerous Goods Regulations" mentioned in the missive above, it is a publication of The Government of Saskatchewan, Ministry of the Environment. You can view this document by clicking here.

    As my esteemed colleague states in the post, "it could be a violation...if you store", although I can find nothing specific that would support that statement. If you happen to be a Saskatchewanian, or Saskatchewanite if you prefer (both are acceptable) you may wish to explore this further. The "remarkable and perfect machine" starts at $14 grand, so as for myself, I'm going to pass on this offer.

    I find it intriguing, that I just read a random syllabus and I am somehow less knowledgeable about something than is if I had never read anything on the subject at all.

    It was too late, Bear. Before I knew it, I was caught in the eye of the storm and had to ride it out. I almost re read it a fourth time before I learned my lesson.
