Spaghetti Wire

Spaghetti Wire

Switchboard spaghetti (or a spaghetti junction) refers to electrical cables, wires and leads being arranged messily in an electrical switchboard powering a property. More rarely, it can refer to using a powerboard to plug in multiple appliances, or any other cases of far too many messy wires and cords. The most valuable type of scrap copper wire is bare bright copper. This uncoated and unalloyed copper is stripped of insulation, paint, and other impurities, making it easy to reuse or recycle. As such, it is usually the first thing that scrap buyers look for.

Since most communication wire is made from copper, it is highly recyclable. You can either strip the wire yourself to get down to the bare copper and earn more per pound, or you can leave the insulation on the wire to save yourself some time and hassle. Recycling can do a lot of good for the earth.
