We buy heavy copper wire, insulated cable, bus bar, and electrical surplus from contractors, shops, and industrial facilities across Arkansas — by mail-in, freight, or coordinated pickup for large lots.
Electrical contractors, industrial electricians, steel and fabrication plants, food-processing facilities, demolition teams, and electrical wholesalers across Arkansas.
Send clear photos of the material, gauge or conductor size, jacket markings, approximate footage or weight, your city, condition, and timing.
Arkansas runs on heavy industry, and heavy industry runs on copper. Northeast Arkansas is steel country — Nucor’s mills around Blytheville and Big River Steel in Osceola mean constant maintenance work: furnace and melt-shop rebuilds, motor changeouts, and heavy feeder cable coming out of plant takeouts and upgrade projects.
Northwest Arkansas — Fayetteville, Bentonville, Springdale — is food-processing and logistics country. Tyson plants, Walmart vendor manufacturing, and cold-storage and distribution buildouts produce contractor leftovers, plant wiring, control cable, and reel ends from new construction and remodels. Little Rock is the state’s construction and industrial hub; Fort Smith has deep manufacturing and automotive-supplier roots; and Jonesboro anchors industry in the northeast. Service upgrades, motor changeouts, transformer swaps, building demolitions, and warehouse tear-outs all put copper in play.
Ironcrest is based in the Chicago area — Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Arkansas sellers work with us by mail-in and freight: smaller clean lots ship in a box or on a pallet, and pickup coordination is possible for large commercial lots like full plant takeouts or demolition recovery. Send photos first either way.
Take clear photos of cut ends, printing on the insulation, reel tags, and conductor size. State the gauge or wire size, footage or weight, and whether the material is copper, insulated, armored, tinned, or mixed with attachments.
Clean, boxed lots ship by mail or parcel from anywhere in Arkansas. Reels and pallets move by LTL freight — stack them, weigh or estimate them, and send the details so we can plan the move.
Full plant takeouts, demo recovery, and trailerload quantities can qualify for coordinated pickup. Send the city, access details, and loading equipment availability with your photos so pickup options can be confirmed.
The faster we can identify what you have, the faster you get a quote. A few minutes of prep on cable size, quantity, and grade separation makes a real difference on industrial lots.
Photograph the printing on the insulation, reel labels, conductor size, and cut ends. State whether the cable is copper, insulated, armored, tinned, or mixed with attachments, and note the jacket markings you can read — THHN, XHHW, USE, or similar.
Provide approximate weight, footage, reel count, or container size. Group photos with a person, pallet, or familiar object for scale can speed initial review, and footage estimates on reels help us quote without a second round of questions.
Separate heavy copper cable, bare copper, bus bar, and aluminum cable when practical. Clean separation improves identification and avoids unnecessary handling — mixed lots get priced as mixed lots.

Yes. Ironcrest is based in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, and works with Arkansas sellers by mail-in and freight. Smaller clean lots ship in a box or on a pallet; larger commercial lots — full plant takeouts, demolition recovery, trailerloads — can qualify for coordinated pickup. Send photos, your city, and the details so we can confirm the right option.
We evaluate insulated copper wire, heavy feeder cable, power cable, building wire such as THHN, XHHW, and Romex, copper bus bar, motor leads, transformer wire, and copper wire on reels. Send clear photos of the material, jacket markings, gauge or conductor size when known, and the approximate quantity.
Yes. New, unused, partial, and surplus reels may have resale value beyond ordinary scrap value. Include photos of the reel tags, manufacturer, conductor size, length, voltage rating, and storage condition so we can review the right outlet.
Send photos, estimated weight or footage, material type, and your Arkansas city. We price each lot from current market conditions and recoverable or resale value — public per-pound prices are not posted.
Gauge or conductor size, jacket markings, footage or weight, condition, whether the material is copper-only or mixed, and your city. For large lots, add reel or pallet counts, access details, and whether loading equipment is available.
Have copper wire, cable, or bus bar to sell? Send photos, quantity, jacket or reel details, and your city to [email protected] or call 312-880-8174 for today’s price.
Industrial equipment can be worth more intact than as scrap. Clear photos and nameplates help determine whether resale, component recovery or commodity recovery is the best path.
Photograph the material, nameplates and quantity, then send them through the quote form, by email or by phone.
We review what the material is, its condition and quantity, and whether it fits a direct purchase.
For qualifying material, we discuss a direct purchase offer and the next steps.
