FAQ: Returning Old Cables
Do you have another question?
It isn’t always necessary, but it can be worth it. Insulated cables are paid for based on their estimated copper content, while stripped cables fetch the full price of copper. With thinly insulated material, the effort of stripping it often isn’t worth the extra cost, but with thick underground cables or wiring harnesses, it can definitely be worth the effort. Not sure? Just send us a message on WhatsApp for advice.

The old cables that are turned in are processed mechanically by a large cable shredder. First, the cable is broken down by a crusher, after which a large machine separates the copper from the plastic. This is done using vibration. The copper falls to the bottom while the plastic remains on top. Thicker cables are often still stripped by hand, resulting in neat and clean strands of copper—hence the term “hand-stripped copper.”
Yes, that is required by law. When you drop off metal, we are required to verify your identity. So be sure to always bring a valid form of identification. This applies to both individuals and business owners who drop off metal on behalf of their company. This is part of the Financial Supervision Act and helps prevent the trade in stolen materials.
The average wiring harness in a passenger car contains roughly 15 to 25 kg of copper, depending on the make and model. Heavier vehicles, such as vans or trucks, contain significantly more. Because the copper in a wiring harness is surrounded by plastic insulation, the price is determined based on an estimated copper content, unless you supply the cables already stripped.
Stripped copper (pure copper without insulation) is paid at the full daily copper price. Insulated cable is paid at a lower price, because the copper content is estimated based on the type of cable and the thickness of the insulation. The difference in value per kilogram can be as high as 30–50%. For large quantities of thick cable, it can certainly be worth stripping it beforehand.
