Building in the mountains changes the electrical work. Longer service runs, more underground feeders to outbuildings, and more temporary power mean contractors order extra URD, USE-2 and SER and often finish with reels still partly full.
The region is also rebuilding. Storm and flood recovery across Buncombe County has meant service replacements, temporary power and new underground runs, all of which consume wire quickly and leave the balance behind.
Where the wire comes from in Asheville
Underground and service work
Steep lots and detached structures drive demand for URD, USE-2 and SER, and those are the reels most often left partially used.
Hospitality renovation
Hotels, inns and restaurants in and around Asheville renovate constantly, producing MC, low-voltage and lighting circuit leftovers.
Rebuild and recovery work
Service entrance replacement and temporary power after storm damage use a lot of cable, and leftover reels from those jobs are common.

Service area, not a branch

Selling surplus wire in Asheville
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 Asheville address or ZIP where it is stored
- Loading: dock, forklift, or ground level
