What is Low Grade Cable?
Low-grade cable refers to electrical and communications wiring that contains a lower percentage of pure copper compared to premium-grade cables. It includes cables with mixed metals, heavier insulation, or coatings that reduce the overall copper content, such as:
Armoured cable
Multi-core electrical and power cables
Heavy-duty industrial wiring
Communications or data cables with fillers and sheathings
Loose or mixed cables from site clearances
Although it contains less recoverable copper than high-grade cable, low-grade cable still holds significant recycling value and contributes to sustainable resource recovery.
Who Typically Brings in Low Grade Cable?
Low-grade cable is commonly brought in by:
Builders and demolition contractors – from site clearances and decommissioned wiring
Electricians and installers – from remodels, upgrades, and rewiring projects
Scrap metal dealers and collectors – specialising in mixed metal recovery
Industrial operations – clearing out redundant cable and machinery wiring
Homeowners and DIYers – disposing of old or unused cables
