The invention belongs to the technical field of electric power engineering, and particularly relates to a waste cable recovery device convenient to clean for electric power engineering. Aiming at theproblem of low working efficiency of cable recovery operation for electric power engineering, the following scheme is proposed, the waste cable recovery device comprises a base, and moving wheels aremounted at the four corners of the outer wall of the bottom of the base through bolts correspondingly; a vertically-arranged mounting column and a vertically-arranged fixing column are arranged at thetwo ends of one side of the outer wall of the top of the base correspondingly; the outer wall of the bottom of the mounting column is connected with the outer wall of the top of the base through bolts, and a sliding plate is mounted on the outer wall of the bottom of the fixing column through bolts; and a mounting hole is formed in the outer wall of the top of the sliding plate. A driving motor drives a winding roller for winding recovery, a waste cable is washed in a washing box to remove stains on the surface of the waste cable, the skin of the waste cable is heated, dried and softened through a drying box, the skin of the waste cable is removed through an annular scraper, the recovery process is simple, convenient and quick, and the work efficiency is improved.
