Building wire is the general category that covers most of what an electrician carries in a truck, and it is the bulk of the surplus market in Georgia.
Building wire includes THHN, THWN-2, XHHW-2, NM-B (Romex), UF and service entrance cable, from 14 AWG branch circuits up to 1000 MCM feeders. Nearly every construction project in the state buys more than it installs.
For sellers, the practical distinction is sealed versus opened. Sealed, tagged reels in standard sizes command wire value; opened reels, coils and mixed pallets are priced on estimated footage, and mixed lots are usually quoted as a single package to keep freight sensible.
| Types | THHN, THWN-2, XHHW-2, NM-B, UF, SER, SEU |
|---|---|
| Voltage | 600V |
| Size range | 14 AWG through 1000 kcmil |
| Packaging | 500 ft and 1,000 ft reels, 250 ft rolls |
| Standard | UL 83, UL 44, UL 719, UL 854 |
The single biggest pricing mistake sellers make is treating a pallet of mixed building wire as one scrap lot. Sorting by type, size and condition before you call usually produces a materially better number.
Where a lot is mixed, we separate it into usable wire and conductor value, so the credit you receive is transparent rather than a single blended number.
Every Georgia market generates building wire surplus, but volume concentrates in metro Atlanta commercial construction, Savannah's industrial projects and the Columbus and Augusta corridors.
We reply with a range for full reels, partial spools and mixed lots, anywhere in Georgia.
Separate by type and size, keep sealed reels apart from opened ones, and group partial spools by gauge. That sorting alone often improves an offer by a noticeable margin.
Yes, in standard 250 and 1,000 foot rolls, sealed or partial, as long as the jacket print is legible.
Yes. We will quote a range from photos and confirm after inspection, but a rough count speeds up the process and firms up the number.
We buy statewide. A few of the markets where this category comes up most:
