Sanford / Lee County

We buy surplus electrical wire in Sanford

A manufacturing town on US-1 between the Triangle and the Sandhills. Sanford's plants run on motor, control and tray cable.

Lee County has a long industrial history, from brick and textiles to the advanced manufacturing that replaced them. Plants here run continuous processes, which means motor feeders, control cable and VFD cable are bought regularly.

When equipment changes, the cable that was bought for the old line stays in the crib. That is the load worth clearing.

Wire types to send from Sanford

Service area, not a branch

Sanford 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 Sanford

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

Sanford questions

Do you buy VFD cable from Sanford plants?
Yes. Note the conductor size and whether it is shielded, since VFD cable is priced as its own item.
Do you buy old maintenance stock?
Yes. A mixed lot of tagged reels is one of the better loads to send because each reel can be priced separately.
Can you pick up during a shutdown?
Yes, and shutdown windows are often the best time. Include the dates.
Do you cover Lee and Harnett counties?
Yes. Sanford is a published service area and the surrounding counties are covered.
