JR Hammer Scrapping the old ways and rethinking waste!

We’re transforming industrial scrap into valuable resources by revolutionising the recovery, processing and recycling of cables, metals and PVC.

One of the most common assumptions in the industry - and one of the most wrong.

Copper can be recycled again and again without losing any of its properties. Same conductivity, same standards, same performance. The International Copper Association has confirmed this for years.

Recycled copper isn’t second-rate. It’s the same material. See how we recover 90%+ of total cable materials at jrhammer.com.au.

It’s International E-Waste Day.

Cable waste from construction sites is one of the streams that rarely gets mentioned - and it’s growing. We process it. Copper, aluminium, plastics - recovered and returned to the supply chain.

If you’ve got cable waste piling up, we can help take the load off and make it easy. Visit jrhammer.com.au to find out more.

October is Buy Nothing New Month.

We’ve got drums and power cable set aside - stuff that came in with the scrap but doesn’t need recycling. It needs a second user.

There are millions of kilometres of telecom cable under Australia. As networks get upgraded, more of it is coming out of the ground every year.

Most recyclers can’t handle it. The polymer mix is difficult and the contamination levels are worse.

We wrote about why it breaks down at scale, and what actually works.

A cable came off the Atlantic seabed after 37 years. Three of the materials in it are already spoken for.

Copper from the power conductors goes to manufacturers. Steel armour becomes fencing. Polyethylene sheathing heads to the Netherlands to be pelletised for plastics.

Different materials, different buyers, different countries. That's what separating a cable properly gets you - and it's the same principle behind every load we process.

World Cleanup Day is today. Beaches, parks, waterways - millions of people out picking things up.

Or you could start with the corner of the yard everyone walks past.

Cable offcuts, old reels, mixed metal in the wrong bin. We’ll come out, tell you what’s recoverable and what it’s worth, and sort collection.

Australia’s data centre capacity is set to more than double by 2030. That's a lot of cable going in and coming out.

Every one of them runs on dense cabling - power, data, fibre - plus the renewable generation now required to feed it.

If you’re doing electrical or mechanical work on these builds, the offcuts alone are worth handling properly. Then there’s the strip-out work later.

We take power, data and telecom cable. Give us a call if you’re on one of these jobs.

Store credit is the bit everyone notices. The paperwork is the bit that matters later.

Every drop-off gets recorded - what came in, what was recovered, where it went. SoSo, when a builder or a council asks how you handle your waste, you’ve got an answer instead of a shrug.

Drop off at a participating branch, or organise a pickup with us direct.
