Copper and aluminum, priced on what the cable is worth
Copper feeder left over from a completed job is not scrap, and it should not be priced like scrap. A clean reel of 4/0 THHN carries the value of the copper, the insulation, the listing, and the fact that another contractor can install it next week.
Aluminum is a different market with different economics, and we buy it on its own terms: XHHW-2, SER, URD, and aluminum feeder in sizes from 6 AWG to 1000 MCM.
- Copper THHN, XHHW, feeder, and bare grounding conductor
- Aluminum SER, URD, XHHW-2, and feeder cable
- Short lengths and damaged cable bought at recovery value, honestly labeled
Medium and high voltage
5 kV to 35 kV, evaluated on condition and documentation
Shielded power cable is the highest value cable most facilities ever hold in surplus, and the easiest to mishandle. Tape shields, concentric neutrals, EPR and XLPE insulation, and 133 percent insulation levels all change what a reel is worth.
We ask for the reel tag, the jacket print, the test documentation if you have it, and a photograph of the cut end. That is usually enough to make a real offer instead of a range.

What surplus wire actually looks like
Racked reels, palletized spools, and yard storage. If your material looks like this, it is worth a conversation before it goes to a scrapyard.

Who sells surplus wire in Ohio

Industry detailsWhy sell to us
Why sell your surplus wire instead of scrapping it
Resale value is not scrap value
Scrap pricing pays for metal content. A resalable reel also carries the insulation, the listing, the manufacturer, and the fact that it can be installed tomorrow. That spread is your money.
One offer for the whole lot
We buy mixed reels, partial spools, and full inventories. You do not need to sort, photograph, or list anything individually before contacting us.
An honest split
Resalable cable is priced per foot. Recovery material is priced by weight. You see which is which before you accept anything, instead of one averaged number.
Statewide, not just the big metros
We buy in every Ohio county, including villages and townships far from I-71. Distance affects scheduling, not eligibility.
The process
How selling your surplus wire works
Four steps, no obligation, and a written offer before anything moves.
Send photographs and details
Reel tags, jacket print, a wide shot of the rack, and your best estimate of footage. A packing list helps if you have one.
Receive a written offer
We separate resalable cable from recovery material so you can see how the number was built.
Approve the terms
No obligation until you accept. If the offer does not work, you keep the material and we part on good terms.
Schedule pickup and payment
We coordinate loading and freight, and payment is made according to the agreed terms before material leaves.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Who buys surplus electrical wire in Ohio?
We do. Electrical Wire Buyers Ohio purchases industrial and commercial wire and cable statewide, including full reels, partial reels, spools, and mixed lots. We buy copper and aluminum, building wire and medium voltage cable, from contractors, plants, distributors, utilities, and demolition contractors.
How do I sell surplus wire if I do not know what it is?
Send photographs of the reel tag and the print on the jacket. Those two images usually identify the type, size, and voltage class. If the print is gone, we work from the conductor size and construction.
Is it worth selling partial reels?
Often yes, as a lot. A single partial spool of branch wire is not worth a pickup, but a pallet of them is a normal transaction. Larger partial reels, especially feeder sizes, can stand on their own.
Do you pay more than scrap for copper wire?
On resalable copper, yes, and usually by a wide margin. Short, damaged, or unmarked copper is priced closer to recovery value, which we also buy.
What areas of Ohio do you cover?
The entire state. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, and Youngstown are common, but we also buy in smaller cities and villages in every county.
What does not qualify?
Transformers, switchgear, breakers, panels, and general scrap equipment are outside what we buy. This site is limited to electrical wire and cable.
