When there is a theft, everyone gets hurt. This is especially true when it comes to the unauthorized removal of metal and wire used by SCE. As the value of copper increases, utilities have seen an increase in metal theft. Utility infrastructure can be hazardous and this type of theft can and has led to the loss of life. Please partner with us in making sure our communities remain safe and injury free.

Whether you are a recycler, Law Enforcement official, or concerned citizen, the following pamphlet will aid you in identifying some of the commonly used metal and wire at SCE.  Thank you for supporting our commitment to public safety.
