Reviewed by a buyerTell us what you have and where it sits. Nothing is moved until written lot terms are agreed.
Floresville is the county seat, and a county seat means public buildings: a courthouse square, county offices, schools, clinics and the maintenance yards that support them. Those buildings renovate in phases and release material on a schedule nobody outside the county controls. Their lots appear in bursts, and the paper trail usually outlasts the cable on the pallet.
The rest of the county is equipment and acreage. Service yards for the oilfield and for heavy trucks hold welding lead, portable cord and generator cable, and the shops that repair what those yards break keep a rack of their own. La Vernia and the roads around it keep adding large-lot homes with wells, long service runs and the occasional ground-mount array.
01
Service yards and the equipment they keep
A yard that repairs rigs, trailers or pumps runs on portable power. That means welding lead by the hundred feet, SOOW cord with the ends cut off, control cable from trailer wiring and generator cable from the standby set by the office. When a yard changes hands or consolidates, that material comes out of three buildings at once and lands in a heap by the gate, and most of it is bought as one lot rather than a reel at a time.
02
County and school buildings
Public work produces the best-documented cable in the county and the slowest release; a renovation pulls service entrance, feeder and fire-rated cable, and because the building is publicly owned the material usually has to be inventoried before it can leave. Keep the inventory sheet with the reels and the lot reads cleanly when the day comes. Ask for the sheet early; it takes weeks to appear.
03
New lots around La Vernia
Subdivision work on acreage looks like subdivision work anywhere, with two differences: the service run is longer, so the conductor is heavier, and there is usually a well, so there is pump cable. Contractors working several properties accumulate part-used rolls of everything. Those lots are copper-heavy, small and usually undocumented, and they add up across a season.
04
Distance and the freight decision
Wilson County is a short run from the city but a long run between addresses. Whether a lot travels on our truck or as freight depends on weight, not on distance: a pallet of reels is a freight problem, two tonnes of mixed cable is a truck. Send the weights you know and the ones you are guessing at, marked as guesses, and the routing gets decided once; a weight ticket from either end settles the difference.

Questions
Answers before you send anything.
If your question is not here, call the desk. A buyer answers, not a call centre.
A yard is closing and everything inside is being sold as one lot.
Send an inventory and photographs of the piles. Single-lot clearances are usually bought as a mixture, with the cable separated from the scrap steel and the equipment. If the cable can be gathered into one area before we arrive, the read is faster.
How does county surplus get released?
Through the county, on its schedule, with paperwork. We buy once the material is released to you or to us. Ask for the inventory list with the reels and keep the tags on them; that is the difference between a documented lot and a pile.
Can you take a trailer load that has cable, fittings and some scrap?
Yes, though it is priced in parts. Cable is priced as cable, clean copper as copper, and mixed scrap on its own basis. Say roughly what proportions are in the trailer so the quote is not built on an assumption.
Do you come out for one pallet?
Sometimes, and sometimes it travels as freight instead. It depends on what the pallet is worth relative to the trip. Send the reel list and a buyer will tell you which route is sensible rather than leaving you to guess.
