Contractors are our most common seller, and the reason is arithmetic. A job is estimated in feet, ordered in reels, and installed in whatever the drawing actually required. The difference stays in the shop.
Three partial reels of 4/0 aluminum, a coil of #10 and a spool of green grounding conductor are not worth a trip individually. Together they are a normal load.
What we buy from electrical contractors
Job closeout leftovers
THHN, MC and SER from jobs that finished with material on the reel.
Over-ordered feeders
Aluminum and copper feeders bought for a size that changed before installation.
Van and shop stock
Partial spools of grounding, control and portable cord that accumulate across a season.

What we need from you
- Each wire type and size as its own line
- Rough footage or a note that the reel is full
- Photos of reel tags where they still exist
One pickup instead of twenty trips
Contractors do not have time to sell three reels at a time. Send one list with sizes and rough footage, and the whole shelf gets quoted together. If part of it is not worth moving, we will say which part and why.
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.
