Boone / Watauga County

We buy surplus electrical wire in Boone

A university town at 3,300 feet with a short building season. Boone's contractors buy ahead and finish with cable on the shelf.

Watauga County's construction season is compressed by weather, so material is ordered early and stored. Student housing, short-term rentals and second homes all need service upgrades and underground feeders.

The university adds institutional renovation, which produces different cable entirely: armored, fire alarm and control.

Wire types to send from Boone

Service area, not a branch

Boone is a coverage area. We arrange pickup at your site; there is no office or yard to drop material at without talking to us first.

Selling surplus wire in Boone

Send the wire type, gauge, approximate footage and where it is stored. Photos of the reel tag and the jacket legend shorten the process more than anything else you can put in the form.

If you are not sure what you have, call +1 (614) 715-3047 and read the print legend off the jacket. That is usually enough to identify it.

One reel or a full storage room

Both are normal. A single reel of large copper or medium voltage is worth a look on its own; small partials are worth moving when they travel together.

What to include on the form

  • Wire type and voltage class
  • Copper or aluminum, and the gauge or MCM
  • Approximate footage left, or full versus partial reel
  • Reel, spool, coil or carton count
  • Condition and whether the tag is still on the reel
  • The Boone address or ZIP where it is stored
  • Loading: dock, forklift, or ground level

Boone questions

Do you travel to Boone from outside the mountains?
Yes. Travel is part of the quote for western sites, so larger loads make more sense than single coils.
Do you buy wire stored through a winter?
Yes, if the jacket and insulation are intact. Photograph the reel ends so condition is visible.
Do you buy from rental property maintenance stock?
Regularly. Property managers often hold a mixed lot worth one pickup.
Is small-quantity mountain work worth a pickup?
Sometimes not on its own. Combining several properties into one load makes it work.
