Pulled With Every Pump
Changeouts bring the cable up with the pump: 100 to 400 feet a trip, trip after trip.

WE BUYSUBMERSIBLE PUMP CABLE
Every well pump changeout pulls hundreds of feet of water-rated cable out of the ground, and the old cable comes up with the pump. Well drillers do this weekly. That cable is copper under a waterproof jacket, and it adds up into one of the steadiest scrap streams in the business.

WHAT IT IS, PLAINLY SAID
The cable that lives underwater.
Submersible means designed to work underwater. This is the flat or twisted cable feeding the pump motor hundreds of feet down the well, built with a waterproof jacket that survives constant submersion. Every pump replacement pulls the old cable up with it: 100 to 400 feet a trip. It is copper all the way through, and a busy well driller accumulates coils of it without trying.
Drillers Accumulate It
A busy well driller fills coils monthly without trying. It is the steadiest stream in the trade.
Sump & Sewage Too
Sump pump and sewage ejector cable from plumbers and pump shops rides the same stream.
WHO GENERATES IT
The pump trade’s steady stream
- Well drillers: pump changeouts are weekly work, and the cable comes up every time
- Pump installers: new installs and replacements leave the old cable behind
- Water utilities: municipal well fields retire pumps and cable on rotation
- Municipalities: water departments service their own wells and pumps
- Plumbing contractors: sump pumps, ejector pumps, and grinder pumps
- Pump service shops: bench rebuilds leave pulled cable in the corner

COMMON QUESTIONS
Asked by people holding this material.
Can I send the cable still attached to the old pump?
Yes. Cable and pump together are completely normal: the pump is a motor with copper windings, and both get graded with the lot.
What about spliced and taped sections?
They are fine. Splices, tape, and splice kits are part of every pulled cable. Send it as it came up.
I only have one coil from a changeout. Is it worth calling?
Yes. There are no minimums and every coil counts. One coil still gets a fast quote.
How is submersible cable graded?
As insulated copper wire. The waterproof jacket is tougher than ordinary insulation, but the copper inside is what pays, and the quote reflects that.
We change pumps every week. Can this be recurring?
Yes. Pump shops and drillers with steady changeouts can set up a collection rhythm: accumulate, call, and the cable moves on your schedule.
Does the cable need to be cleaned or dried?
No. Send it as it came out of the well. Mud and water do not change the deal.
NO MINIMUMS
That pulled cable is copper.
