Matthews / Mecklenburg County

We buy surplus electrical wire in Matthews

An older downtown surrounded by newer development. Matthews mixes renovation work with infill construction, and both leave wire behind.

Matthews has a small-town core with a lot of electrical work around it: medical offices, retail renovation along Independence, churches and schools being updated, and constant residential turnover in the older neighborhoods.

Renovation work is where surplus comes from. Panels get replaced, circuits get added and the leftover reels go on a shelf in the shop.

Where the wire comes from in Matthews

Medical and office renovation

Clinic and office updates produce MC, fire alarm and low-voltage cable in identifiable partial quantities.

Retail and restaurant work

Tenant turnover along the retail corridors generates THHN, MC and lighting circuit leftovers.

Older residential re-wiring

Panel replacements in established neighborhoods leave SER, grounding conductor and branch wiring behind.

Cable reels of several colors stored indoors
Surplus wire from Matthews and Mecklenburg County — full or partial reels.

Wire types to send from Matthews

Service area, not a branch

Matthews 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 Matthews

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 Matthews address or ZIP where it is stored
  • Loading: dock, forklift, or ground level
