Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Clear Lake wire sale involves on your end
Funds change hands before a single reel leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.
You are never asked to sort, measure, strip or re-spool anything. Our team grades the material from photos and our own inspection.
Trucks, forklifts, reel handling and pallet wrapping are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.
Full reels, partial reels, boxed coils, loose cut-offs and several different constructions on one skid are all normal to us.
Wire and Cable We Buy in Clear Lake
Every construction is in scope, from 14 AWG spools to 1000 MCM feeder reels
The Clear Lake Market
Wire left over from a Clear Lake job still carries real money, whether the reels are full, partial or a mixed pile on a pallet. We hold Iowa inventory moving through Des Moines, so consolidating your Clear Lake pallets onto an existing load is usually possible. Sellers are rarely asked to do more than grant yard access. Loading, reel handling and transport are handled by our crews at our cost.
Every construction is in scope. What we see most often in Clear Lake is VFD cable reels from a pump station project and multiconductor shielded control cable off a plant retrofit. Across Iowa we also buy pallets of 12 AWG THHN spools in mixed colors, mixed partial reels on skids from a distributor's back rack and 1,000 ft coils of 12/2 NM-B in original wrap.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically estate and business liquidators, electrical contractors clearing out a job trailer, solar and wind EPC firms with leftover conductor. We also buy from oil and gas service yards and hospital and campus construction groups.
Most sales trace back to one of a few situations:
- Year-end inventory made it obvious the wire was dead capital.
- A storm or fire loss replacement arrived and the displaced stock has to move.
- A subdivision or phase finished and every house left a partial coil behind.
- The job over-ordered and the return window at the distributor has already closed.
Pickup and Freight in Clear Lake
We stage trailers and box trucks near Des Moines and dispatch into Clear Lake as loads fill. We are used to sites where the only access is a single dock door.
The material is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Clear Lake is absorbed on our side. Sellers who already hold a scrap quote often find the difference substantial, because a scrap figure pays metal weight minus processing and ignores what a full reel with a legible print line is worth to somebody who needs to pull it.

How the Sale Works
Four steps, none of which cost you anything
Send What You Have
A photograph of the reel tags and one wide shot of the pallet is enough to begin. If the tags are gone, photograph the print line on the jacket and we will identify it from that.
Receive a Firm Offer
We respond with a committed cash figure, usually the same day. It is an offer rather than an estimate, and it does not move afterward.
Schedule on Your Terms
Pickup in Clear Lake is arranged around your yard hours, shop schedule or dock availability. If a dock appointment or gate code is needed, we work around it.
We Pay, Then We Haul
Payment is completed before anything moves. Our crew performs the loading, the reel handling and the wrapping, and our truck removes it.
Also Buying Across Iowa
We cover 103 locations in Iowa.
Selling Surplus Wire in Clear Lake: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Clear Lake to pick up the wire?
Yes. We stage trailers and box trucks near Des Moines and dispatch into Clear Lake as loads fill. We do not ask you to arrange freight, palletize anything or deliver material to us.
Do I need to measure or sort it first?
No. Sorting is never a condition of our offer. We grade a lot from photos, the reel tags and our own inspection at pickup.
What if the reels are only partially full?
We still buy them. A full unopened reel is worth the most, but partials sell well, and even short cut-offs have recovery value. Tell us roughly what is there and we will quote the whole lot.
When do I get paid?
Before anything leaves your property. Payment is not contingent on us reselling the material afterward.
Will you buy a few coils in Clear Lake, or only truckloads?
Both. A pallet is worth a call, and if you have a warehouse full of aged stock we will quote the entire inventory as one purchase.
Do you buy aluminum as well as copper?
Yes. Aluminum URD, triplex, XHHW and SER all have real resale markets, and we buy them readily. Do not assume aluminum is only worth scrap price.
Have Surplus Wire in Clear Lake to Sell?
Call or text photos of the reels and we will return a firm offer, usually the same day.
