Northern Iowa is agricultural equipment, food processing, cement and aggregate, and a wind-energy supply chain that stretches from Fort Dodge toward Mason City. Those industries run heavy electrical maintenance, and heavy maintenance leaves cable behind.
We buy from businesses in Black Hawk, Cerro Gordo, Webster, Bremer, Winneshiek and surrounding counties: Waterloo and Cedar Falls first, then Mason City, Fort Dodge, Decorah, Waverly, Spencer and the smaller county seats.
We buy surplus wire from businesses in Northern Iowa. There is no staffed office, warehouse or yard in the region — collection is arranged per load.
Material
01
What typically turns up
The industrial mix in a region shapes the surplus it produces.
The typical northern Iowa surplus load is industrial: tray cable and VFD cable from a line change, control and instrumentation cable from a controls upgrade, welding cable out of a fab shop, and medium voltage cable from a substation or service project.
Distances are larger here, so we plan pickups around routes. A single partial reel in Decorah may need to wait for a run through the area, while a full pallet in Waterloo can move quickly.

Questions

Northern Iowa: questions sellers ask
Will you travel to Decorah or Waverly for one load?
For a full pallet or a truckload, yes. For a single small reel, we will be honest about whether a run makes sense and suggest combining it with a larger pick-up.
Do you buy welding cable from fab shops?
Yes. Welding cable from #6 to 4/0 is bought in coils and on reels, judged on jacket condition.
Do you handle medium voltage reels from wind or substation work?
Yes, with the reel tag and preferably test documentation. Anything above 15 kV gets a closer review.
