We buy electrical cable across Greater Houston.
Thirty-three area pages, each written around the plants, contractors and yards that actually hold surplus cable there — from the Turning Basin to Fulshear.
One buying desk for the whole metro
Houston is not one market. The Ship Channel corridor runs on turnarounds and capital projects; the west side runs on warehouses, data centres and subdivision construction; the coast runs on salt air and storm repair. The cable is different in each, and so is the way a lot has to be handled.
Each area page below is written around that local reality — who tends to hold surplus there, how a site is accessed, what usually comes out of it, and what a seller should have ready before calling. Open the one nearest your yard.
- Reels, partial reels, pallets and full truckloads
- Copper and aluminium, 600 V through 345 kV
- New surplus, used, decommissioned and storm damaged
- Plant, contractor, utility, terminal and demolition sources

Questions sellers ask
Do you cover the whole Houston metro?
Yes, within roughly an hour of the Ship Channel. That includes Harris, Fort Bend, Galveston, Montgomery, Brazoria and Liberty counties. Smaller lots further out are reviewed, but collection may be grouped with other stops.
Which areas produce the most surplus cable?
The Ship Channel corridor — Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, La Porte, Channelview and Texas City — because refining, chemical and terminal work runs continuously and generates both project surplus and demolition cable. The west side produces clean, documented construction surplus.
Can you collect from several yards in one run?
Often yes. Contractors frequently hold reels at more than one Houston yard. Send each location with its own short list and the collection can be planned as one route, subject to how the lots value out.
Do you buy from homeowners and small electrical contractors?
Yes. A few coils of NM-B or a partial reel of THHN from a service van is a normal lot. It is reviewed the same way, just at a smaller scale, and may be collected on a scheduled run.
