Insulated copper wire is graded on one thing above all: recovery — the percentage of the load's weight that is recoverable copper after processing. The higher the recovery, the higher the price per pound. THHN commercial building wire leads the pack near 80%, household Romex runs about 65%, and communications wire can dip below 40%.
Sorting pays. Separating THHN from Romex from cat wire before you sell can add 20-30% to a mixed load's value, because unsorted loads are priced at the lowest visible grade. We buy insulated wire from electricians, demolition crews, data centers, and utilities nationwide — by the barrel, gaylord, or truckload — with free commercial pickup and same-day payment. Send photos for a fast grading, or call 954-488-0700 and Sean will price your load over the phone.
