Winston-Salem / Forsyth County

We buy surplus electrical wire in Winston-Salem

A research hospital, a university, and a downtown built on converted tobacco factories. Forsyth County's electrical work is renovation-heavy, which is where surplus reels come from.

Renovation is harder on material planning than new construction. Existing buildings hide conditions, so the wire ordered for a floor rarely matches what the floor actually needed. The difference ends up on a shelf in the basement.

Winston-Salem's hospital and university construction programs run continuously, and the Innovation Quarter conversions keep contractors working in buildings that were wired for manufacturing decades ago.

Where the wire comes from in Winston-Salem

Hospital and medical campus work

Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist projects generate HCF MC, fire alarm cable and feeder reels, often with tags still attached.

University renovation

Wake Forest University work produces commercial branch wiring and control cable in identifiable partial quantities.

Tobacco-district conversions

Old manufacturing buildings being converted to lab and office space require full re-wiring, and the demolition phase yields recoverable cable.

Wire types to send from Winston-Salem

Service area, not a branch

Winston-Salem 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 Winston-Salem

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 Winston-Salem address or ZIP where it is stored
  • Loading: dock, forklift, or ground level

Winston-Salem questions

Do you buy wire recovered during demolition?
Sometimes. Cleanly removed cable with the type still readable is reviewed; chopped or contaminated material is not.
Do you buy HCF MC from hospital work?
Yes. Note the armor type and the conductor count, since the redundant ground matters to the next user.
Can you pick up from a downtown building with no dock?
Yes, but tell us. Ground-level access and a freight elevator change the handling plan.
Do you buy partial reels from university projects?
Yes, and they are usually well documented, which makes them quick to quote.
