The invention discloses a waste wire recovery device which comprises a fixing support. One side of the fixing support is connected with a wire stripping mechanism, and one side, far away from the wirestripping mechanism, of the fixing support is connected with a wire swinging mechanism. The waste wire recovery device has the beneficial effects that 1, Due to the arrangement of the wire strippingmechanism, the outer skin of waste wires can be cut, the whole process is simple and efficient, mechanical production can be realized, the stripping efficiency is high, the practicability is strong, and the recovery requirement of the waste wires is met; and 2, the horizontal transverse back-and-forth movement of a No. 2 wire passing pipe is realized, the orderly winding on a winding drum during the recovery of the waste wires is ensured, rope skipping is avoided, the packaging efficiency of the waste wires is increased, the adopted mechanism is simple in structure, high in efficiency and easyto maintain and maintain, the workload of workers can be reduced, and the recovery operation efficiency of the waste wires is greatly improved.
