Why Sellers Choose Us
What a Lafayette 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 Lafayette
Every construction is in scope, from 14 AWG spools to 1000 MCM feeder reels
The Lafayette Market
Surplus cable in Lafayette does not have to be sold at scrap price. We pay resale value on wire that still has it. Our Louisiana coverage runs statewide, so a pickup in Lafayette, LA is scheduled the same way a metro pickup would be. We will work around your yard hours, your shop schedule or your landlord's access window. Pickup gets scheduled to suit you.
Every construction is in scope. What we see most often in Lafayette is 2/0 welding lead coils out of a fab shop and pallets of 12 AWG THHN spools in mixed colors. Across Louisiana we also buy wooden reels of 350 MCM XHHW-2 from a cancelled feeder, mixed partial reels on skids from a distributor's back rack and direct burial URD from a utility contractor's yard.
Who We Buy From
Our sellers here are typically water and wastewater treatment authorities, utility contractors with surplus reels, industrial auctioneers with unsold lots. We also buy from low voltage and data cabling contractors and general contractors on an adaptive-reuse project.
In practice, a handful of scenarios account for nearly every sale:
- A project was cancelled after the wire had already been delivered.
- A storm or fire loss replacement arrived and the displaced stock has to move.
- The construction is discontinued or an unpopular color, so it will never be pulled from stock.
- An acquisition brought inventory that does not match the branch's mix.
Pickup and Freight in Lafayette
Getting a truck into Lafayette is routine for us. Tight warehouse docks, alley access and basement storage included. If the reels are in a basement or up a ramp, tell us and we will bring the right equipment.
The material is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Lafayette 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 Lafayette 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 Louisiana
We cover 127 locations in Louisiana.
Selling Surplus Wire in Lafayette: Common Questions
Straight answers
Do you actually come to Lafayette to pick up the wire?
Yes. Getting a truck into Lafayette is routine for us. Tight warehouse docks, alley access and basement storage included. 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 Lafayette, 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 Lafayette to Sell?
Call or text photos of the reels and we will return a firm offer, usually the same day.
