URD Cable Buyers in Georgia
Underground residential distribution cable is buried by the mile in Georgia subdivisions, and the leftover reels are heavy, valuable and often in the way.
Underground residential distribution cable is buried by the mile in Georgia subdivisions, and the leftover reels are heavy, valuable and often in the way.
URD cable is a direct burial aluminum or copper cable with XLPE or polyethylene insulation, usually dual rated USE-2/RHH/RHW-2, made in 6 AWG through 1000 MCM in single conductor and triplex or quadruplex assemblies.
Because it is bought in long lengths for subdivisions and utility extensions, partial reels are normal. Value depends on insulation integrity: URD that has been dragged across gravel or stored in standing water loses value quickly.

Inspection focus: jacket abrasion, UV cracking on stored reels, and moisture at the ends. A clean, tagged reel of 350 MCM aluminum URD is a straightforward sale; a sun-cracked reel is a scrap conversation.
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.
Georgia's subdivision growth corridors, particularly around Atlanta, Savannah, Gainesville and Columbus, generate URD surplus. Utility contractors and developers clearing lots after a build-out are the usual sellers.
We reply with a range for full reels, partial spools and mixed lots, anywhere in Georgia.
URD is underground residential distribution cable. USE-2 is an underground service entrance cable rating. Many cables carry both marks, which makes them usable in more applications and more valuable.
Yes, after inspection. Sun exposure cracks the insulation on some constructions, and cracked cable cannot be buried. We quote based on usable length.
Yes, and copper URD is the higher-value version. Send photos of the print and ends and we will price it against current copper.
We buy statewide. A few of the markets where this category comes up most:
