SELL SURPLUS WIRE IN DETROIT
Detroit's industrial corridors, supplier plants and steady renovation work produce every kind of surplus cable — from partial THHN reels in a contractor shop to medium-voltage reels from a plant teardown.
Leftover project wire? Sell it now — don’t scrap it.
What Detroit businesses are holding
Detroit's electrical surplus comes from three directions at once.
Industrial. Assembly and supplier plants along the Michigan Avenue, Gratiot and Livermore corridors run constant tooling and line changes. Each one leaves drive cable, tray cable, control and instrumentation cable, and the feeder and grounding conductors that went with the last electrical scope.
Commercial renovation. Older buildings in Corktown, New Center, the east side and downtown are renovated in phases. Service upgrades, tenant build-outs and mechanical replacements leave SER, MC and building wire behind.
Demolition and decommissioning. Teardowns produce recovered copper, removed service cable and whatever was pulled intact before the structure came down.
Wire and cable we quote most in Detroit
- THHN and XHHW in copper and aluminum, from partial reels to full 2,500 ft reels
- MC and AC cable in partial coils from commercial work
- SER and SEU service cable, including removed runs from service upgrades
- VFD, tray and control cable from supplier plant projects
- Medium-voltage cable from substation work and plant distribution
- Bare copper and grounding wire from teardowns and service work
Pickup in the city
Detroit sites vary enormously. A supplier plant in the industrial belt has a dock and a forklift; a renovated building downtown may have a lift, a loading zone and street parking rules. Tell us which one you have.
We plan around the freeways — I-75, I-94, I-96 and M-10 — and around site rules: check-in, escort, hours and whether a trailer can be parked legally while it is loaded.
We are not a Detroit salvage yard
There is no yard to drive to and no scale to weigh material on. We buy from businesses and arrange removal at their site, and we do not publish a local phone number because there is no local office.

Questions sellers ask before they call
Do you buy wire from Detroit demolition sites?
Yes, when the cable is intact and identifiable. Recovered copper and removed service cable are reviewed case by case.
Can you pick up downtown?
Yes, with the right planning. Loading zones, freight elevators and building hours all need to be known in advance.
Do you buy from supplier plants in the city?
Yes. Drive, tray and control cable from tooling changes is common Detroit material.

Surplus wire sitting in a warehouse costs money every month
Send what you have and we will tell you what it is worth. One reel, a pallet of cut lengths, or a full rack of medium-voltage cable — start with the details and a few photos.
