Demolition cable buyers in Louisiana
Demolition cable is a recovery lot by definition. The review is about what survived the removal, not about what the building used to be.
Start here 01
Sell demolition cable in Louisiana
A demolition contractor takes a building or a process unit apart and ends up with conductor that has been cut, pulled, coiled and stacked. Some of it is still usable; most of it is copper and aluminium in a jacket, and both outcomes have a value.
- Construction, size and footage, not weight alone
- Reel tags and jacket print travel with the lot
- Pickup planned around your site, not ours
Photographs of reel tags and jacket print can follow by text to 614-715-3047 or email to saleselectricalbuyers@gmail.com.

What this family covers 02
Demolition cable we review in Louisiana
The difference between a good demolition cable lot and a bad one is separation. Copper kept apart from aluminium, cable kept apart from bus and mixed metal, and a rough note of what came from where will improve the read more than anything else done on site.
Identification 03
What identifies demolition cable
The facts that decide how a lot is read. Send what the reel says rather than a description from memory.
| Typical material | Building wire, feeder and tray cable, control cable, bus bar, bare copper and conduit wire |
|---|---|
| Condition | Cut lengths, pulled cable, crushed armour and mixed metal; recovery is the normal outcome |
| Separation | Copper, aluminium, bare bright, insulated and bus kept in separate piles |
| Contaminants | Steel conduit, fittings, tape, connectors and water in the coils |
| Documentation | A note of the building type, the removal date and any known cable types |
| What helps | Photographs of each separated pile with something for scale |
If a detail is unknown, mark it unknown. A stated uncertainty is workable. A guess that turns out wrong costs everybody a second visit.
Constructions 04
Demolition cable lots we buy
Read separately, because they are valued separately.
Insulated copper from a strip-out
Building wire, feeder and control cable, read on copper content and how clean the separation is.
Aluminium feeder and service cable
Kept apart from copper, read on aluminium content.
Bus bar and switchgear copper
Fabricated copper from switchgear and distribution, reviewed on weight and cleanliness.
Mixed demolition cable
The pile that was not separated. Read last and read conservatively; separating it is the improvement.
How a lot is read 05
How demolition cable is evaluated
Demolition lots are read on recovery content, with a secondary look for anything that survived intact enough to reuse. That secondary look is worth doing: a coil of tray cable that came out of a cable tray in one piece is not scrap.
Then cleanliness and separation. Copper with steel fittings attached, aluminium mixed into a copper pile, and water-logged coils all reduce the read, and all are avoidable with ten minutes of sorting.
Safety first. Demolition sites carry structural, electrical and asbestos hazards. Cable removal is the demolition contractor's work under its own safety plan; we review material after it is down and released.

Questions —
Demolition cable questions
Do you buy cable straight off a demolition site?
Yes, once it is down and the site has released it. Material still in a structure is not a lot, and we do not arrange removal inside an active demolition.
Is demolition cable always scrap?
No. Some pulled cable is intact enough to be reused, particularly tray and feeder cable removed in long lengths. The review looks for that before defaulting to recovery.
Does separation really matter?
It is the single biggest factor. A separated copper pile and a mixed pile of the same material are not valued the same, and the gap is larger than most people expect.
What about conduit and tray?
Steel conduit and tray are a separate ferrous lot. They are noted, but they are not part of a cable review.
