How to Sell Scrap cables
Selling your scrap cables to H&S Metals is easy. Simply drop off your metal to one of our scrap yards in Portsmouth or Bishops Waltham. Alternatively, we can collect the scrap metal if you are located in Portsmouth or Southampton. We will then weigh the metal and provide you with a printed receipt detailing the weight and current rates.
You can then choose whether you'd like to be paid via cheque, BACS or same day transfer. When we buy your scrap cables, we will need to see some ID and proof of your address. This could include a valid photocard driving licence or a passport with a utility bill dated within the last 3 months. We cannot accept mobile phone bills as proof of your address.
Where Can cables generally Be Found?
Cables are incredibly common and can be found in a wide variety of places, generally wherever electricity or data transmission is needed. In your home, this could be in appliances, internal wiring and telecommunication equipment, such as computers, lighting and network cables. In commercial and industrial settings, you'll find cables in electrical wiring, manufacturing equipment and transportation vehicles.
The most common metal found in electrical cables is copper, although aluminium and steel are also frequently used. Both have a lower conductivity than copper but are increasingly being used due to their lower cost. Less frequently gold and silver might be used in electric cables – which although great for conductivity are also too costly for wide commercial usage.
