Get the Best Scrap Wire Prices in Melbourne

Ezi Metal buys copper, cable, and wire scrap across Melbourne at rates that track the daily market, not a lowball guess. You get accurate weighing, a clear grade, and same-day payment by direct EFT. Our trucks reach homes, sites, and factories across the city for bulk pickup, so your scrap wire never sits in a shed and loses value as copper prices fluctuate.

Why Recycle Your Scrap Wires? The Value Adds Up Fast

Old cable and wire scrap holds copper value that pays you back once you sell it.

  • You turn unused copper cable into immediate cash instead of storage.
  • Recycled copper reduces the need for fresh mining and cuts emissions.
  • Proper disposal keeps you compliant with Victoria’s e-waste and metal recycling rules.

Copper is one of the few materials that keeps its value through every recycling cycle, so the wire in your yard or warehouse is worth more if sold now than if left to corrode, tangle, or take up space you need.

Kinds of Cable Scrap We Collect

  • Bare, bright, and stripped clean wire
  • Insulated copper wire from any source
  • Medium and low grade copper cable
  • Industrial, automotive, and household wire scrap

From single-core household wire to heavy industrial cable, Ezi Metal grades and prices each load by copper content, so you receive a rate that reflects what you bring in, not an average guess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recycle broken or damaged cable scrap?

Yes, Ezi Metal accepts broken, damaged, or offcut cable scrap in any condition. Damage does not affect the copper inside, though heavily burnt or contaminated cable may fall into a lower grade, which changes the price you receive.

Sort your cable by type where possible, and separate bare copper from insulated wire, since this affects grading and price. Remove non-metal attachments, keep loads dry, and tell us the estimated volume before we schedule pickup.

Yes. Victoria bans cash payments for scrap metal, and dealers must record every transaction and verify seller ID under the Second-Hand Dealers and Pawnbrokers Act. Ezi Metal fully follows these rules, so every pickup and payment remains compliant and traceable.

No fixed minimum applies, though Ezi Metal is set up mainly for bulk loads from sites, warehouses, and businesses. If your volume is small, call us first, since we can still arrange pickup or advise you.
