Local friends who are dealing with waste copper or aluminum cables may wonder about how to calculate the recycling price. I will explain the method for calculating the recycling price of waste copper cables.

Method 1: Calculation Method for Scrap Copper Cable Recycling Pricing

Copper Weight X Copper Price Calculation: Yarn thickness ÷ 2 = 1.25 x 1.25 x 3.14 = square number

X filament count: X0.89X current copper price + 10% processing fee.

Method Two: Copper Core Cable with Skin Recycling Pricing Calculation

Copper Weight X Copper Price Calculation: = (Gross Weight of Wires and Cables - Tare Weight) X Current Scrap Copper Recycling Price - 10% Processing Fee.

Recycling old cables typically incurs certain costs, generally including production wages, management wages, utility expenses, repair costs, depreciation, rent, and transportation fees. The cost of copper wire includes three components: the cost of copper material, the cost of PVC (outer sheath), and labor costs.
