Agriculture, Grain & Food Processing
Grain, feed, dairy, meat processing, cold storage and biofuel facilities run hard electrical systems, and expansions leave usable cable behind.

Types of wire we buy
Five categories, one focus: wire and cable
Everything on this site is surplus electrical wire and cable. No transformers, no switchgear, no machinery — just conductor, insulation and the reels it came on.
01
Building wire and common cable
Branch-circuit and feeder conductor pulled in nearly every South Dakota project: copper and aluminum building wire, bare and insulated copper, grounding and service-entrance cable.
02
Industrial cable and flexible cord
Armored, tray-rated and flexible constructions used in plants, mills and processing facilities, where a change order can strand hundreds of feet of cable.
03
Control and instrumentation cable
Multiconductor control, shielded instrumentation and paired signal cable left over from plant upgrades, controls retrofits and commissioning.
04
Low-voltage and communication cable
Fire alarm, data, coaxial, speaker, security and irrigation cable — often boxes or partial spools that never went back to the distributor.
05
Medium- and high-voltage cable
5kV through 69kV and above: shielded, EPR and XLPE insulated power cable in single- and three-conductor constructions, including concentric neutral.
Material we review
From forty feet on a spool to a full reel lot
Most South Dakota surplus is not a truckload. It is a shelf of partial reels, a pallet of overstock, or the cable left after a project closes. We review lots of every size and tell you plainly whether it is a fit.
- Sizes#14, #12, #10, #8, #6, #4, #2, #1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 250, 300, 350, 400, 500, 600, 750 and 1000 MCM

- Not a guaranteeAcceptance depends on type, condition, quantity and logistics. Submit the details and photos for review.
How selling works
Four steps, no mystery
You keep the wire until pricing and logistics are agreed. The sequence below is the whole process.
-
Submit details and photos
Use the quote form or call. Wire type, size, metal, footage and photos of the reels, tags and jacket legends.
-
We review the material
We look at the construction, condition and quantity, and come back with questions if something is unclear.
-
Pricing and logistics
We discuss value and how the material moves — pickup, loading, freight or delivery — before anything is committed.
-
Pickup or shipping
When both sides agree, we arrange pickup or shipping to suit the site and the schedule.
Who sells to us
Seller audiences across South Dakota
These are the kinds of organizations that hold surplus wire. They are potential sellers, not customers, and no company is named or implied as a reference.
Utilities & Power Generation
Substation work, generation maintenance and renewable projects leave medium-voltage cable and control cable on reels.
Electrical Contractors
Every closed job leaves a shelf of partial reels. We buy the shelf, not just the full reels.
Manufacturing & Fabrication
Machine builds, line changes and panel shops leave cut cable, spools and reels that are still good material.
Mining, Aggregate & Cement
Heavy industrial operations replace cable on a schedule and keep the removed lengths. Some of it is still usable.
Data Centers & Telecom
White-space fit-outs, power upgrades and network builds generate over-ordered cable and orphaned spools.
Commercial & Institutional
Renovations, tenant improvements and equipment replacements leave building wire, MC cable and low-voltage cable behind.
Demolition & Plant Maintenance
Before cable goes in a dumpster, it is worth finding out whether it is still usable conductor.
Built for real yards
Warehouse racks, gravel yards, plant cribs
Wire in South Dakota is stored wherever there was room: a rack in the shop, a pallet behind the plant, a reel on gravel beside the building. Tell us how it is stored and what can load it, and the pickup plan follows.

Questions sellers ask
Before you send photos
What kind of wire do you buy in South Dakota?
Copper and aluminum building wire, industrial and tray cable, control and instrumentation cable, low-voltage and communication cable, and medium- and high-voltage power cable. Full reels, partial reels, spools, coils and cartons are all reviewed. We do not buy transformers, switchgear, breakers, motor control centers, generators, machinery, vehicles or general scrap.
Do I have to bring the wire to you?
No. We arrange pickup or shipping once the material has been reviewed and pricing and logistics are agreed. Tell us where the wire physically sits, what loading access exists and any site restrictions, and we will plan around it.
Can I sell a partial reel?
Yes. Partial reels are normal surplus. Include the wire size, the approximate length left if it is marked, and a photo of the reel tag. If the length is unknown, say so on the form rather than guessing.
How do I know what my wire is?
The printed legend on the jacket and the reel tag carry almost everything: wire type, size, voltage class and often the footage. Photograph both. If the tag is missing, a close-up of the cut end and the jacket print usually identifies it.
Have surplus wire sitting in a shop or yard?
Send the details and photos, or call and describe what you have. We will tell you what we need to see and whether we can make a pickup work.
