Wire and Cable Recycling

This is an area where VPG has a substantial competitive advantage over our competitors. Our utility customers have the opportunity to consolidate major revenue producing assets that are being disposed. This lowers administrative costs and allows customers to focus on other parts of their responsibilities. VPG is very familiar with all wire types in the utility industry including: Insulated Copper, Insulated Aluminum, ACSR, URD, Bare Copper, Bare Aluminum, Lead Cable, Weatherproof Copper, and others.

In addition, VPG operates one of the few full-scale “chopping” lines left in the United States. This allows VPG to offer more for your scrap wire and cable. Our “chopping” line is capable of processing various cable types and ends with the paper, insulation, and non-metallic materials being separated from the non-ferrous items like copper and/or aluminum.

Prior to switching to VPG, many of our utility customers were using local scrap yards with no value-adding steps. Local scrap yards that do no processing must sell their material to a processor before the material can truly start the recycling process. Therefore, by VPG offering their services to utilities it is an opportunity to remove the middleman and maximize your returns!
