Who buys surplus electrical wire in Ohio?
Ohio Wire Buyers does. We buy new and reusable surplus electrical wire and cable as product for resale and reuse, not as scrap metal by the pound. A reel of 500 kcmil XHHW-2 with an intact tag, or a box of 12/2 MC that never left the stockroom, is still a finished product another job can install. That is why reusable wire is valued by type, size, footage and condition rather than by copper weight alone. Read more in who buys surplus electrical wire and our plain-language comparison of surplus value versus scrap price.
Most of our sellers are electrical contractors with leftover job wire after closeout, electrical distributors clearing aging overstock, manufacturing plants emptying maintenance stores, and utilities and co-ops or data center and solar projects with excess cable. We arrange pickup at your jobsite, warehouse, plant or yard in every one of Ohio's 88 counties. There is no drop-off counter and nothing for you to haul.

Surplus wire buyer FAQ
Who buys surplus electrical wire in Ohio?
Ohio Wire Buyers buys reusable surplus electrical wire and cable from businesses anywhere in Ohio, including electrical contractors, distributors, manufacturing plants, utilities and project owners. We buy it as product for reuse, not as scrap by the pound, and we arrange pickup at your site after you accept a written offer.
Do you buy partial reels and cut lengths?
Yes. Partial reels, boxed coils and cut lengths are a large share of what we buy. Tell us the size, type and conductor material, and give the footage for each piece or reel. Sequential footage marks at both ends of a partial reel are the quickest way to show what remains.
Is surplus wire priced like scrap copper?
No. Reusable wire with readable jacket print and a clean, undamaged jacket is valued as a finished product based on type, size, footage, condition and demand. Wire that cannot be reused is usually better sold to a scrap metal recycler, and we will tell you if that is the case.
What should I send to get an offer?
Send photos of the whole lot, each reel tag, the printed legend on the jacket and a cut end, plus a list or estimate of footage per reel. Add the pickup city and how the material is stored. You can use the online form or call 951-403-5738.
Do you buy used or pulled cable?
Sometimes. Used cable must still be reusable: identifiable from its jacket print, free of cuts, crush damage and burn marks, and in lengths long enough to install. Send clear photos and we will tell you whether it fits resale or belongs with a scrap recycler.
