The six guides
Read them in order, or jump to the one that answers your question.
- How to read a reel tag and a jacket legendFour details on a reel tag answer almost every question about a surplus reel: type, size, footage and voltage. Here is where to find them.
- Surplus wire and scrap wire are not the same saleA scrap yard prices metal content. A wire buyer prices the product. Which one you are holding changes the answer by a wide margin.
- Surplus wire pickup across North CarolinaPickup is arranged around the load, not the other way around. Here is what makes a load worth collecting and how the day usually goes.
- What happens to your wire after pickupMost of what we collect goes back into service on another job. A small share does not, and it is worth knowing which is which.
- What makes a reel of wire unsellableMost rejected wire is rejected for one of six reasons. Knowing them saves a wasted pickup on both sides.
- How surplus wire is pricedThere is no published price list, because two reels of the same size can be worth very different amounts. These are the factors that decide it.
