Commercial and industrial teardowns produce cable in quantity. Reels that were never installed, tray cable pulled in long clean runs and feeders removed intact are all worth more as cable than as weight.
Chopped, mixed and contaminated material is a different market, and not one we buy.
What we buy from demolition contractors
Reels never installed
Material delivered to a site that was demolished before it went in.
Cleanly removed tray and feeder cable
Long runs removed intact, with the jacket still readable.
Removed armored cable
MC and HCF MC recovered in usable lengths rather than chopped.

What we need from you
- Photos of the cable as removed, not after sorting
- Lengths, and whether runs came out intact
- Whether any reels are still sealed
Removal method decides the value
Cable cut into three-foot pieces is scrap. The same cable removed in 100-foot runs is product. If your crew can pull rather than cut, the difference shows up in the quote.
Wire and cable only
We do not buy transformers, switchgear, breakers, MCCs, generators, bus plugs, chillers, machinery, poles or unrelated scrap. Mixed loads are fine as long as we are quoting the wire portion.
