What We Buy
Surplus electrical wire and cable, in every construction we are asked about. If it is wire or cable and it is still usable, it is worth sending.
Nine categories, one rule
Everything below is wire or cable. We do not buy transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, MCCs, generators, bus plugs, chillers, machinery or vehicles — so a mixed lot with those items in it is quoted on the wire only.

Not sure what you have? Photograph the jacket print. It identifies construction, gauge, voltage rating and temperature rating in one shot, and it is usually faster than reading a faded reel tag.

Unused cut lengths are welcome from about 25 ft upward. Below that, material is usually priced as scrap unless it is part of a larger lot.
Reels found in containers and trailers count as surplus too.
Have reels, spools or cut lengths to move?
Send the wire type, footage and a few photos. We review every request and reply with a quote or a clear no.

Photos are the fastest route to a real number. Reels, jacket print, tags and cut ends.
Tell us what you have
No obligation and no cost to ask. If the material is not a fit, we will say so plainly.
