Sell surplus wire from campus projects
Campuses renovate continuously and store everything in a maintenance yard.
A university or school district runs a permanent pipeline of renovations, lab fit-outs and infrastructure upgrades. Maintenance yards end up holding the residue: partial reels of THHN, coils of MC, service cable from a panel replacement, and boxes of communication cable from a wireless upgrade.
We buy that surplus from campuses and districts across Tennessee, including the low voltage and fire alarm cable that campus work generates in volume. Surplus property rules vary, so tell us early whether the material is already released for disposal.
What universities typically hold
- THHN, THWN-2 and XHHW building wire
- MC and AC cable from lab and classroom fit-outs
- SER and service entrance cable
- Cat5e, Cat6 and coax from network upgrades
- Fire alarm and low voltage cable
- Welding cable from shop and maker spaces
What to send for a quote
- Confirmation that the material is released as surplus
- Reel tags or jacket print photos
- Approximate footage and reel count
- Yard location and whether a truck can enter campus
- Any requirement to use a loading dock or service road
Questions from universities
Do you buy from university surplus property departments?
Yes, subject to the institution's own disposition rules. We work with the surplus contact on documentation and access.
Can you collect from a maintenance yard?
Yes. Yards are usually the easiest campus pickup, provided the vehicle can reach the storage area.
Is small-lot campus surplus worth quoting?
Yes. Several partial reels grouped by type and size make a normal submission.
