We buy surplus electrical wire across the Carolinas.
Plants, contractors, utilities, mills and warehouses in North Carolina and South Carolina sell us overstock, obsolete and decommissioned cable by the reel, the pallet or the truckload. Send the details and a buyer reviews the lot.

Wire and cable we buy
Thirty-five material, voltage and seller-situation pages, because a reel of 15 kV shielded cable and a box of NM-B cut-offs are not valued on the same facts.
Two states, one buying desk
One buying desk covers both states, and the two state sections are deliberately separate. The cable that comes out of a Charlotte data hall has little in common with what comes out of a tire plant outside Greenville, or a furniture mill in Hickory, or a co-op yard on the coastal plain.
North Carolina wire buyers
From the I-85 manufacturing corridor to the coastal plain, North Carolina produces a steady supply of surplus cable: plant overstock, contractor leftovers, utility surplus and decommissioned mill inventory.
South Carolina wire buyers
The Upstate’s automotive corridor, Charleston’s port and chemical plants, Columbia’s state and manufacturing economy and the Pee Dee’s mills all leave cable behind when work changes.
Where the surplus comes from
Surplus cable is a by-product of work that stopped, changed or finished. These are the four situations that produce most of it.
Plant overstock and changeouts
Storehouses hold cable bought for a line that was retooled, a building that was value-engineered or a project that never started. When the storehouse is cleared, the cable goes with it.
Electrical contractor leftovers
Partial reels accumulate in job trailers and shops because nobody wants to write off a reel that still has 300 feet on it. That is exactly the material a buyer can use.
Utility and co-op surplus
Retired conductor, obsolete service cable and distribution material pulled from yards during rebuilds. Aluminium dominates, and the handling is the same as copper.
Warehouse, distributor and demolition
Dead stock, discontinued constructions and cable stripped from buildings before demolition. Mixed, undocumented and often better than it looks.
How a lot gets reviewed
No account, no auction, no listing fee. Four steps from the first message to a loaded truck.
Send the details
Wire type, conductor, voltage, size, footage or reel count, condition and pickup city. The form asks for exactly that, and it works without an account.
A buyer reads it
Not a call centre and not an automated valuation. The reply is either a question, an offer basis, or a straight explanation of why the lot is not a fit.
Terms in writing
What is bought, how it is measured, assumed condition, freight responsibility, loading, timing and payment. Nothing moves before those terms are accepted.
Pickup and payment
Scheduled around the site's access rules, with the loading method agreed in advance so the right truck and crew arrive once.

How to read a cable reel tag
A mill tag carries construction, size, voltage, length and date. How to read one, what a job reel is missing, and how to rebuild a tag that was lost.

Net weight minus reel tare, divided by the published weight per 1,000 feet. The method, the arithmetic, and why the answer is an estimate rather than

Sort by family, then voltage, size and condition, keep tags on reels, and never strip a reel to weigh it. When splitting a lot pays, and when it does
