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 · Sell Your Wire
Reviewed by a buyerTell us what you have and where it sits. Nothing is moved until written lot terms are agreed.
There is no listing, no auction and no waiting for a buyer to appear. You describe what you have, a buyer prices it, terms are agreed in writing, and the material is collected and paid for.
The only thing that reliably slows a lot down is missing information: no tag, no count, no idea whether a truck can reach the reels.
01
Step one: send the reel list
Use the form, call, or text photographs. What matters is the material, the quantity and the location. If you have ten reels and only two tags survived, send the two tags and say the rest are unmarked.
A useful reel list is short and specific: type, size, metal, voltage class, reel count, condition, city and ZIP, and whether there is a forklift.
- Type as printed on the jacket, for example THHN or 15 kV shielded
- Size, for example 4/0 or 500 kcmil, and copper or aluminium
- Reel count and footage where it is known
- Condition: new, opened, partial, removed, scrap
- Where it sits and what can reach it
02
Step two: get a buy quote
A buyer reviews the list and comes back with a number or a short set of questions. The number reflects what the material is, not what it weighs, and it is given as a range when footage is uncertain.
Nothing is committed at this stage. You can take the number, hold the lot, or compare it against another buyer without any obligation to us.
03
Step three: agree terms and pickup
Terms are written down before anything moves: what is being bought, the basis of valuation, who collects, when, and how payment is made. For facilities and utilities this is where the vendor form, purchase order or disposal approval is handled.
The cable must be de-energised and released before loading. If it is medium voltage, the discharge and test record comes first.
04
Step four: weigh, collect, pay
Material is weighed on a certified scale and the weight ticket becomes the basis of settlement. Collection is by our truck or a carrier, depending on size and access. Payment follows the agreed terms, and the bill of sale closes the title.
After that the space is yours again. That is the whole point: the reels were occupying floor area and capital, and now they are neither.
Questions
Answers before you send anything.
If your question is not here, call the desk. A buyer answers, not a call centre.
Do I have to accept the first number?
No. A quote is a quote. If it does not work for you, keep the material and revisit it later; the desk will still take the call.
Can the lot be split?
Often yes. Mixed lots are sometimes better sold in parts, for example the tagged reels as material and the offcuts as scrap. A buyer will say which split makes sense.
How long does a pickup take to arrange?
Usually a few business days from agreed terms, depending on access windows and whether the site needs badging or an escort.
What if the weight comes in different from the estimate?
The weight ticket governs. If the difference is material, the settlement changes with it, which is why the terms are written down before loading rather than after.

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.
