Plug wires, often recognized as cords from old appliances and extensions, contain copper or sometimes aluminum. These are valuable metals that are excellent for reuse. The sheathing of plastic makes it a little more difficult to process directly, but after separation, what is left is a pure metal that can be reused.
Plug wires are usually insulated with a plastic or rubber coating. Inside is often a core of copper, which is red in color when you remove the insulation. The thicker and heavier the cable, the more metal it contains and the more interesting it is for recycling.
Where can you find plug wire that can be turned in?
Almost everyone has leftover plug wire at home or at work. Typical sources are:
Old extension cords and power cords
Cords from electrical appliances and tools
Discarded electronics such as computers and televisions
Residual material from renovation or demolition work
We weigh your metals on site and calculate the fee based on current metal prices. So you always know where you stand.
You can drop by our Utrecht location without an appointment. We will help you immediately with unloading and handling.
By recycling your metals, you contribute to the reuse of raw materials and avoid unnecessary waste. Good for the environment as well as your wallet.
After submission, the wire is processed mechanically. The plastic insulation is removed, then the copper or aluminum is released. This metal then goes to smelters, where it is remelted and reused in new cables, installations or industrial applications.
Recycling plug wire: simple and sustainable
By turning in old plug wire, you ensure that valuable metals are not lost. It's a simple way to contribute to a circular economy while saving resources. Turn in your cords and have them responsibly processed into new usable material.
Have questions about what you can turn in or how much it's worth? Feel free to contact us or drive by directly.
On our weighbridge or with a smaller scale, we determine the weight and type of metal.
You will be paid the amount immediately in cash or by bank, whichever you prefer.
