Kendall County ยท Boerne and the west
We buy surplus wire across Kendall County.
Kendall County's cable is mostly small-gauge and mostly outdoors: well drops, PV strings, long service runs to a house set back from the road, and the commercial work that follows Boerne's growth.

Reel list · Kendall County
Reviewed by a buyerTell us what you have and where it sits. Nothing is moved until written lot terms are agreed.
Boerne and the communities west of it along I-10 sit on the edge where subdivision meets ranch. Lots are measured in acres, wells are the water supply, and the electrical work is spread thin across a large area. A single property might hold a house, a shop, a well house, a gate and a set of panels for a barn.
That spread is what makes the county distinctive: lots tend to be small in weight and awkward in access, and the cable has often been outdoors for a season before anyone decides to move it. We buy those lots anyway, and the conversation is about gauge, footage and jacket, in that order. Nothing here arrives on a pallet in a clean laydown area.
01
The well drop is the county's signature lot
A submersible pump hanging several hundred feet down a bore needs conductor that can survive permanent immersion and constant flexing. When the pump is pulled for service, the cable usually comes up with it, and a fair share of that cable is still good. Flat three-wire and round four-wire are both common; so are spliced lengths, because a previous owner added a splice rather than pull new cable.
02
Solar on acreage
Ground-mount arrays suit these lots, so PV conductor shows up here more than in the city: string cable, USE-2, and the heavier DC feeders that run from a rack field to an equipment pad. Arrays get resized. A homeowner who adds panels or moves an inverter leaves coils of conductor behind, and the footage is often known because it was ordered for the original layout.
03
Small commercial in and around Boerne
Shops, offices, clinics and restaurants along the main roads refit on the same pattern as anywhere else, at a smaller scale. A service upgrade is the usual trigger: the old service entrance comes out in one piece, the meter base is replaced, and the panel feeder is either reused or replaced with it. What is left is a short, heavy, well-documented lot.
04
Distance, driveways and the weighbridge
A Kendall County pickup is a routing decision as much as a loading one. Two addresses ten miles apart on either side of a ridge can take an hour between them, so a list with both is easier to price than two separate calls. If the driveway will not take a truck, we meet at a public scale with the reels already on a trailer, and the ticket settles the weight.
Questions
Answers before you send anything.
If your question is not here, call the desk. A buyer answers, not a call centre.
The pump cable has a splice in it. Is it still worth anything?
Yes, as cut lengths rather than as a continuous drop. A splice means the cable cannot be sold on as a known length, so it is priced on the copper and the condition of the jacket. Cut the splice out and keep the lengths separate if you want a cleaner read.
PV conductor that has been in the sun for two years.
Still bought, but read as weathered. Sun breaks down the jacket before it touches the conductor, and a chalky, cracked surface is the first thing a buyer looks at. Say how long it was outdoors and whether it was under the panels or in a coil.
Is there a minimum for a lot this small?
Not in principle, but a single coil of 12 AWG does not justify a trip on its own. Lots like that often travel by freight, or wait until a second job adds to them. Sending the list costs you nothing either way.
Can you reach a property at the end of a long gravel drive?
Usually, with the right vehicle. Tell us the surface, the grade, the gate width and whether there is room to turn a truck and trailer. Where there is not, we arrange a meet point and load there instead of testing the driveway with a loaded truck.
