Bexar to Comal ยท I-35
We buy surplus wire along the I-35 corridor.
From San Antonio out through Selma, Schertz, Cibolo and New Braunfels, I-35 is one continuous building site, and one truck can serve three of those jobs in a morning.

Send the reel list. A buyer reads it.
Six details are enough to start. Tags and photos can follow by text or email once a buyer has looked at the basics.
- A buyer reviews the lot: construction, footage and condition, not only metal weight
- Copper and aluminium, 600 V building wire through 345 kV cable
- Full reels, partial reels, cut lengths, pallets and truckloads
- No fee, no obligation, and no automatic pickup
Reel list · I-35 Corridor
Reviewed by a buyerTell us what you have and where it sits. Nothing is moved until written lot terms are agreed.
The corridor is not a neighbourhood. It is a working strip: frontage roads, industrial parks, new subdivisions, schools going up beside dealerships, and contractors whose trailers are parked at whichever gate is open that week. A crew can be pulling cable in Selma at seven and trimming out a house in Cibolo by noon.
That movement is the opportunity. Cable left at three different jobs along fifteen miles is not three small problems, it is one route. Tell us the addresses and what is at each, and the pickup can be planned as a single run down the frontage road instead of three separate favours.
01
One market with several addresses
Contractors working the corridor rarely work one site. A service upgrade in Selma, a warehouse refit in Schertz, a subdivision phase in Cibolo and a hotel job in New Braunfels can all sit on the same foreman's list in the same month.
The material follows the crew, not the address. Reels get moved between job boxes, offcuts get consolidated into one trailer, and by the end of the phase nobody can say which site a given reel came from. That is fine, because a corridor lot is priced as one lot.
02
How three small pickups become one run
We start with a list: address, contact, what is there, and whether it is behind a fence or in the open. Then the stops get ordered north or south along the frontage so the truck is never doubling back through a construction merge.
Small lots ride together. A single reel in Cibolo is not worth a vehicle, but it is worth fifteen minutes when the truck is already going to New Braunfels. That is the whole value of planning by corridor rather than by town.
- Address and cross street for each stop
- What is at each, in gauge and reel count
- Site contact and phone number for the gate
- Whether a forklift or lift gate is needed
- Any window when the site is closed to deliveries
03
What the corridor is producing
New residential gives you banded NM-B, MC and service cable, clean and dry. Industrial parks give you feeder, tray and lighting conductor. Retail and hospitality refits give you shorter lengths of a bit of everything, plus fire-rated cable from egress work.
Road and utility work along the frontage produces its own material: duct bank spare conduit, pull rope, and occasionally conductor that was pulled out and replaced. If it is on a reel and it is dead, it can be looked at.
- New residential: banded NM-B, MC, service cable
- Industrial park: feeder, tray, lighting conductor
- Retail refit: short lengths and fire-rated cable
- Road and utility work: pulled conductor and spare reels
- Job trailer overstock: unopened reels from a finished phase

Frontage roads, turnarounds and timing
Loading on the corridor is about avoiding the merge. A truck parked on a frontage road at 8 a.m. is a hazard; the same truck at 6:30 is invisible. Site trailers, laydown yards and the back of an industrial park are all better than the shoulder.
If a stop has no room, we skip it and come back. A route that takes an extra hour beats a route that loses a mirror to a lane closure, and the lots do not spoil in an afternoon.
| Stop | What is there | How it loads |
|---|---|---|
| Selma distribution | Feeder, tray, lighting | Dock, forklift |
| Schertz plant | Feeder, control, welding lead | Dock or laydown |
| Cibolo subdivision | NM-B pallets, service tails | Hand carry, lift gate |
| New Braunfels refit | MC, fire-rated, small feeder | Rear alley, box truck |
| Frontage road job | Mixed offcuts, conduit pulls | Pickup, then transfer |
Questions
Answers before you send anything.
If your question is not here, call the desk. A buyer answers, not a call centre.
Can a pickup cover stops in two different towns?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Give us the addresses in the order the crew works them and the truck will follow the same order. Two stops fifteen minutes apart cost far less than two separate visits.
What if one stop's lot is much smaller than expected?
It gets loaded anyway if the truck is there, and priced as part of the combined run. The alternative is leaving it for a second trip, which costs more than the material is worth in most cases.
Do you need site access paperwork at these jobs?
Usually just a name for the gate and a contact who can sign. Larger sites want a safety orientation or a contractor badge, and we would rather know that a day ahead than at the barrier.
Is construction traffic a problem for a trailer?
It can be. Lane closures and merges on this stretch change weekly, so the route is planned around them rather than through them. A box truck handles most corridor lots without needing a wide swing.

You have the cable. We have a scale and a check.
Send the reel list, the tags or a photograph of the pallet. A buyer comes back with what the lot is worth and how pickup would work, before anything is moved.
