Asheville / Buncombe County

We buy surplus electrical wire in Asheville

Mountain terrain makes every service run longer and every spare reel more expensive to keep. Asheville's hospitality, healthcare and rebuild work all generate surplus cable.

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.

Wire types to send from Asheville

Service area, not a branch

Asheville 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 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

Asheville questions

Do you buy URD and USE-2 in Asheville?
Yes. Underground feeder is one of the most common items in this region because of how services are run on mountain lots.
Do you buy wire that came out of a storm-damaged building?
Sometimes. Cable that was submerged or fire-affected is not buyable. Cleanly removed cable with the jacket intact is reviewed.
Can you reach sites outside the city?
Yes, including surrounding counties, but travel distance is part of the quote. Include the city or ZIP on the form.
Do you buy from small mountain contractors?
Yes. A single partial reel is fine if it is the right material, and a bundle of them is better.
