Provided is a high quality recovery device for wire scraps that improves recovery rates for copper material and the like by making possible efficient separation and recovery of mistakenly cut materials that are included in crushed substances. [Problem] To provide a high quality recovery device for wire scraps wherein, when a dam (11) is provided that dams up some water flowing on top of a sorting table (10) across the direction of width of the sorting table (10) at the lower part on the sorting table (10), mistakenly cut material (43) that is contained in crushed substances collects in an area in proximity to the upper edge of a pool (12) of water formed by the dam (11); therefore, dividers (13, 14), which form mistakenly cut material recovery pathways (15, 16) one end of which opens into that area where the mistakenly cut material (43) collects on the sorting table (11) and in which water does not flow, are provided on the sorting table (11), and the mistakenly cut material (43) is separated and recovered using these mistakenly cut material recovery pathways (15, 16).
