About Car Loom
A car loom, or wiring harness, is the bundle of insulated copper wiring that runs through a vehicle, connecting its electrical systems. Car looms are a byproduct of vehicle repairs, panel beating, and general automotive work, and while they might look like scrap plastic and wire at first glance, they contain a genuinely worthwhile amount of copper once separated out.
Why Choose Citi Metal Recyclers
- Transparent pricing with no hidden deductions
- Careful grading so you’re paid for actual quality
- Free pickup for eligible loads across Brisbane
- Household and commercial quantities both accepted
- Friendly, experienced local team
How We Grade and Price It
Car looms are typically weighed and priced as insulated copper wire, since the copper is bundled inside plastic sheathing and connectors. Larger looms with a higher copper-to-plastic ratio generally offer better value, and bulk quantities from workshops or panel beaters are common and welcome.
Where This Material Commonly Comes From
In Brisbane, car loom we recycle typically comes from a range of everyday and trade sources, including:
- Mechanic workshops during repairs
- Panel beaters stripping written-off vehicles
- Vehicle dismantling for parts recovery
- General automotive trade work
Whatever the source, our approach stays the same: accurate grading, fair pricing, and a straightforward process from first contact through to payment.
Tips for Preparing Your Car Loom
- Keep car looms separate from other general scrap where possible
- Bulk quantities from workshops can be stored together for a single collection
- There’s no need to strip the insulation yourself, we process looms as supplied
- Let us know your approximate volume if arranging regular collection
How the Process Works
- Contact our team with your item’s details.
- We’ll give you a ballpark figure over the phone.
- Choose collection or drop-off, whichever suits you.
- Once weighed and confirmed, payment is finalised immediately.
Why Recycling Car Loom Matters
Beyond the cash in your pocket, there’s a genuine environmental case for recycling car loom rather than sending it to landfill: recovering the copper inside a car loom means a valuable material isn’t lost to landfill along with the plastic sheathing, supporting the same efficient copper recycling chain as any other copper wire. For Brisbane households and trades alike, that means recycling car loom is a straightforward way to get value back while doing the right thing environmentally at the same time.
Bulk and Trade Quantities
If you’re a trade business, workshop or commercial operation generating car loom on a regular basis, we’re happy to discuss an ongoing or scheduled collection arrangement rather than booking each load individually. This is particularly common with mechanics, electricians, plumbers and demolition contractors, who often find it more convenient to have material collected on a set schedule rather than managing ad-hoc pickups. Get in touch to talk through what a regular arrangement could look like for your Brisbane business.
