HOW WHOLESALERS WIN
long-term by helping them reduce site waste, recycle better and cut business costs.

How the planet wins
While most of the industry settles for < 50% resource recovery rates,
JR Hammer guarantees over 90% under the RecyCable program,
plus complete traceability.
That’s a massive amount of plastic kept out of landfill.
Now you can offer a future-focused solution and lead the change.
IS CABLE WASTE REALLY SUCH A PROBLEM?
Yes! More than 50% of old cables end up in landfill, and Australia currently recycles only 3–5% of PVC – the main material used in cable insulation.
That means millions of tonnes of recoverable material are lost to landfill every year.
Many electrical contractors offload cable waste through
cash-for-scrap operators – often illegally and unknowingly. While these operators claim to recycle, they typically recover only the metal, with the remaining materials sent straight to landfill.
It’s risky, unsustainable, and untraceable.
But it doesn’t have to be. There’s a huge opportunity to do things better.

JRHammer processes the materials through our grading and recovery system to recover the maximum value from your cable scrap.

This program is based on a partnership model. You get the benefits of being leaders in the industry, plus generate income from the cables you collect based on a recommended price list that we set based on the going market rate.
Flexible schedules tailored to your business. We offer scheduled collections, drop-off options, and on-demand pickups for large jobs – whatever works best for you.
We process both metals (copper, aluminium) AND the insulation from cables, achieving 90%+ recovery. Most traditional scrap dealers only recover the metal and dump the rest in landfill.
