To provide a recycling system for waste electric wire that can separate and collect the waste wire into metallic wire and coating material simply and certainly.

This system is constituted with a cutting unit 1 to minutely cut the waste electric wire, a refrigerating unit 5 to refrigerate the cut waste wire, a smashing unit 6 to smash the refrigerated waste wire with the refrigerator 5 by crushing and separate the coating material from the metal wire, the first sorting unit 7 of corona discharge type to mutually select the metal wire and coating material separated with the smashing unit 6, a friction charging unit 8 to give electric charge with polarity corresponding to the material through friction by making the coating materials sorted with the first sorting unit 7 mutually contact, and the second sorting unit 9 of electrostatic type to select the coating materials given with electric charges by using the friction charging unit 8 in terms of the material by passing through an electrostatic field.
