Bexar County ยท Stone Oak
We buy surplus wire in Stone Oak.
Stone Oak went up fast and recently, so its surplus is young cable: reels with the mill tag still legible, bought for fit-outs that finished with footage left over.

Reel list · Stone Oak
Reviewed by a buyerTell us what you have and where it sits. Nothing is moved until written lot terms are agreed.
Most of the north side went up after 2000, which changes what a lot looks like. There is very little demolition cable up here because almost nothing is old enough to tear down. What exists in quantity is fit-out leftover: partial reels of MC and THHN from a medical office build, tray cable from a data room, feeder tails from a service upgrade at a retail pad.
The hospitals and Class A office buildings along the US-281 and Loop 1604 corridors turn tenants over on a lease cycle, and every turnover is a small construction project: a clinic expanding into the suite next door, an office floor demolished back to shell and rebuilt. Each one ends with a cart of cut lengths nobody wants to put back in the racks.
01
Fit-out leftovers are the north side's real surplus
A commercial fit-out is bought to a takeoff, and a takeoff is an estimate. The electrician orders to the drawings plus a margin, the job finishes, and a dozen partial reels go back on the truck because nobody wants to leave them on a site that is about to be cleaned. That is the material we see most on the north side: sound, recent, labelled, and usually still on the pallet it arrived on.
- MC and HCF from office fit-outs
- THHN and XHHW partial reels
- Tray cable from data rooms
- Feeder tails from service upgrades
02
A new tag beats a clean jacket
On recent construction the tag usually survives, and that is worth more than scrubbing the jacket. A legible mill tag gives the footage, the size, the voltage class and the listing, which lets a buyer price the reel as surplus rather than guess at what is left. Photograph the tag flat, square and in daylight before the reel is loaded, because a label shot at an angle cannot be read.
03
Subdivision work and remodel cut-offs
Residential work across the 2000s subdivisions produces small, steady quantities: NM-B offcuts, a partial roll of 6/3 for a range, SER left from a panel change. It is rarely enough for a dedicated pickup on its own, but accumulated across a builder's crews and a few months it becomes a pallet worth collecting. Keep whole rolls separate from loose cut lengths, because the two are priced differently.
04
Docks, garages and gated access
Loading on the north side is a compromise. Medical office buildings have a shared dock and a freight lift with a posted limit, retail pads have neither, and office garages have a clearance bar that decides whether a box truck fits at all. Tell us the clearance and the dock height before we book, and a garage with a seven-foot limit stops being described as a loading dock.

Questions
Answers before you send anything.
If your question is not here, call the desk. A buyer answers, not a call centre.
Is a few hundred feet of leftover MC worth a call?
On its own it is a small lot. As part of a closeout with other leftovers, it contributes real value. Photograph the reels together, note the approximate footage on each, and we will tell you whether it justifies a truck.
Does colour or jacket type change what you buy?
Not the colour, but the construction does. Armoured cable, tray cable and building wire are handled differently and priced separately, so keep them apart on the pallet rather than mixing them into one delivery. A mixed pallet is still bought, just at a blended rate.
Can you collect from an office garage?
Only if a truck fits the clearance, and many do not. We can meet at the loading area, work from the street, or arrange a smaller vehicle. Give us the clearance height and the dock location and the options become obvious.
What if the reels were stored outside on a site?
That is the usual case, and it costs some value. Sun breaks down jackets and rain gets into the layers. Note which reels were under cover, because a dry reel from a site container prices better than one that sat on an open pallet.
