What We Buy
We Buy High-Value Wire, Cable, and Nonferrous Scrap
Sparta Metal Processing purchases insulated copper wire, insulated aluminum wire, ACSR, URD, and a wide range of nonferrous materials from scrap dealers, manufacturers, utilities, contractors, and industrial suppliers across the United States.
With specialized processing capabilities and deep knowledge of wire, cable, and nonferrous recovery, we help suppliers move material efficiently and capture strong value from every load.
Sparta purchases insulated aluminum wire from solar farms in truckload and high-volume quantities. Our team understands the differences in insulation, conductor type, recovery, and market value, allowing us to evaluate and process aluminum wire scrap accurately and efficiently.
Common materials include:
Insulated aluminum cable, utility cable, industrial aluminum wire, mixed aluminum wire, and related aluminum-bearing scrap.
Insulated Aluminum Wire
ACSR is made with aluminum conductor strands surrounding a steel core. Because this material contains both aluminum and steel, proper evaluation and processing are essential to determining recovery and value.
Sparta buys ACSR from scrap dealers, utilities, contractors, and industrial suppliers, with the processing knowledge needed to separate and prepare material for downstream markets.
Common materials include:
ACSR cable, utility transmission wire, overhead conductor, and aluminum conductor with steel reinforcement.
Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced Wire (ACSR)
URD, or Underground Residential Distribution cable, is commonly used in underground utility applications and often contains aluminum conductors with insulation and additional layers that require specialized processing knowledge.
Sparta buys URD cable from qualified suppliers and understands how to evaluate its construction, recovery profile, and market value.
Common materials include:
Primary URD, secondary URD, underground utility cable, and aluminum URD scrap.
URD Cable
Sparta purchases insulated copper wire across a range of grades, sizes, and insulation types, including #1 ICW, #2 ICW, and #3 ICW. From higher-recovery copper wire to more complex mixed loads, our team has the experience and equipment to evaluate material accurately and process it with efficiency.
Common materials include:
Insulated copper wire, copper cable, communication wire, industrial copper wire, mixed ICW, and copper-bearing cable scrap.
Insulated Copper Wire
In addition to wire and cable, Sparta purchases a wide range of nonferrous materials. Our team brings extensive knowledge of copper, aluminum, stainless, nickel, bronze, and specialty alloys, helping suppliers properly identify, sort, and market higher-value material streams.
Materials may include:
Other Nonferrous Materials
Open-eye Heliax
#1 copper
#1 bare bright copper
Copper tubing
