    Buying Scrap Wire

    Hello I have decided to jump into the scrap wire buying to offer people who may not have time to strip wire and this option offers a little more money for them.

    - All payments will be processed via paypal in under 48 hours after receiving and weighing shipment
    - No minimum amount of wire, maximum of 250lbs
    - Residental address with zip code 68135
    - PM me or email me at recycometalrecycling@yahoo.com before sending a package or for more information
    - Not accepting wire under 12" in length or heavily fire damaged wire
    - Not buying coaxial cable or metal insulated wires

    Any wire not on list and not approved by contacting me will result in being paid at .25/lb for copper wire, .10/lb for aluminum wire
    Any extrusion on wire will be clipped before paid and if excessive will be a deduction of $.10/lb



    12/2, 12/3, 12/4 and larger insulated romex (solid core) @ $1.00 / LB

    10/2, 10/3, 10/4 insulated romex (solid core) @ $.80 / LB

    14-18 guage insulated braided core wire @ $.70 / LB

    14-18 guage solid core wire @ $.70 / LB

    1-12 guage insulated solid core wire @ $1.00 / LB

    1-12 guage braided core wire @ $.80 / LB





    (No need to sort wires when sending, I will sort and send you your payment along with a list of what wires and how much of each kind you had)


    Any wires you have that you may want to sell to me please email or pm me and I would be happy to identify how much I will pay for what you have!

    (I will be adding more items to the list as I start getting questions of what I buy and see what people have and how much I can pay for it)

    Thank you and hope to do business with some people soon! I apologize if what I am buying is not what you need or not worth shipping it to me.

    Thanks a lot. Most power supply wiring is 20 gauge and I do not purchase that, but if you find some that is 18 gauge I'd love to buy it! You can get a gauge checking tool like pictured above for like $.99 online or at a hardware store. I hope to be buying smaller wires soon in the future.

    Here is a question. Do you measure the gauge of wire inside of the insulation, or is the gauge determined from the copper only ithout insulation?

    Think of the packing when you buy it. I measure by that gauge aka the gauge of the wire with insulation on. With Romex its measured by the number of wires inside and gauge of them ex. 12 gauge 2 insulated = 12/2
