Burlington / Alamance County

We buy surplus electrical wire in Burlington

Sitting between the Triad and the Triangle on the I-40 corridor, Burlington moves a lot of commercial and laboratory construction — and a lot of wire.

Alamance County's position on the interstate corridor has made it a logistics and light manufacturing market. Warehouses and labs get built and expanded, and each project consumes building wire, tray cable and controls cable in specified lengths.

The county's textile history also left a large stock of older industrial buildings, which are steadily being rewired as they change use.

Where the wire comes from in Burlington

Distribution and logistics buildings

Warehouse lighting and dock power work consumes THHN and MC, and leaves partial reels at every phase.

Laboratory and life-science work

Lab construction in the corridor uses instrumentation and control cable with pair counts that make leftovers specific and quotable.

Textile-era building conversion

Older mill buildings being converted require full re-wiring, and teardown yields recoverable cable.

Wire types to send from Burlington

Service area, not a branch

Burlington 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 Burlington

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 Burlington address or ZIP where it is stored
  • Loading: dock, forklift, or ground level

Burlington questions

Do you buy leftover wire from warehouse projects in Alamance County?
Yes. High-bay lighting and dock work produce a predictable mix of THHN and MC partials.
Do you buy lab control cable?
Yes, with the pair count and shield type noted. Those two details determine what it is worth.
Can you pick up between Burlington and Greensboro?
Yes. The corridor is well within our normal travel.
Do you buy partial reels from a single contractor?
Yes. One reel of large copper is a different proposition from one coil of #14, and we will tell you which one you have.
