Site Assessment

We survey the copper plant, map aerial and underground runs, and scope the removal project before a single wire gets touched.

02

Wire Removal

Trained crews pull copper from poles, conduits, and underground pathways. Clean removal with minimal disruption to active fiber lines.

03

Transport & Logistics

Recovered copper is consolidated, loaded, and transported to certified processing facilities. Full chain-of-custody documentation.

04

Recycling & Reporting

Copper is processed and recycled at market rates. Carriers receive detailed weight and value reports for every project.
