Electrical Scrap Collection

Electrical strip-outs produce some of the best-value scrap on any job. Copper windings in motors and transformers, busbar in panels, and armoured cable in the risers are all worth well above general mixed metal.

The service

What we do, and how it works

We collect from electrical contractors, M&E firms, data centres and facilities teams across London. Everything is graded properly rather than tipped in as one lot, which is where most of the value is usually lost.

What we take

  • Switchgear, distribution boards and panels
  • Electric motors of all sizes
  • Transformers and ballasts
  • Copper busbar and tails
  • SWA and armoured cable
  • Containment, tray, trunking and conduit

FAQs

Electrical Scrap — your questions answered

Yes. Motors are bought whole and priced on their copper content relative to the steel casing, so there is no need to break them down. Larger motors and generators are worth flagging when you call so we bring the right lifting kit.

Oil-filled transformers need careful handling and may contain regulated substances, so tell us before collection. We will confirm what we can take and how it needs to be prepared rather than turn up and refuse the load.

We take metal-rich electrical equipment for recovery. Items falling under WEEE regulations have specific handling and reporting requirements — describe what you have when you call and we will confirm exactly what we can take.

Yes. We regularly work in live and secure environments, out of hours, with signing-in procedures, escorted access and agreed routes. Give us the site requirements up front and we will work to them.
