Wire and Cable buyers serving Rochester
Our New York routing runs along I-87, I-90, I-95, I-84 and the Thruway, which keeps crew and trailer cost predictable for Rochester projects. Coordination with Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, Central Hudson, PSEG Long Island on clearances, metering removal and final disconnect is part of the scope, not a change order.
The sequence is short. You send nameplate photos, a one-line diagram or just a list. We return a written itemized offer the same business day with a proposed removal window. On acceptance we survey access in Rochester — door widths, floor loading, dock, elevator, crane needs — then mobilize, lock out, disconnect, rig, load and sweep. Payment before the truck leaves.

Equipment
What we take out of Rochester sites
Feeder and building wire
THHN, XHHW and RHW copper and aluminum feeders from #12 AWG through 1,000 MCM, single conductors and multi-conductor assemblies, in conduit or free-air. Recovered building wire is the highest-volume item in most plant electrical lots.
Medium-voltage and shielded cable
5 kV, 15 kV, 25 kV and 35 kV shielded power cable, EPR and XLPE insulated, tape and wire shielded, single conductor and triplexed. Long unspliced runs and full reels can resell as cable rather than as recovered copper, which is worth considerably more.
New York specifics
New York is two completely different jobs sharing a state line. In the five boroughs and the lower Hudson Valley the work is vertical and permit-heavy: switchboards and busway risers coming out of pre-war commercial buildings, hospital and university plants replacing essential-power systems, and Con Edison network gear on a renewal cycle that never really stops. Freight elevators, night windows and street-level staging decide the schedule far more than the rigging does. Upstate is horizontal and industrial — the Buffalo and Niagara Falls electrochemical and metals legacy, Rochester optics and imaging plants that have been shedding infrastructure for two decades, Syracuse and Utica manufacturing, and the semiconductor and battery build-out that is now retiring the gear it replaced. Bus duct is unusually common in both halves, because so much of this building stock was wired when busway was the standard answer.

Common questions
Rochester questions
What happens to the equipment after you buy it?
Serviceable gear is tested, reconditioned where needed and resold as replacement equipment — that resale is what funds your offer. What cannot go back into service is dismantled for copper, aluminum and steel recovery through permitted processors, with regulated fractions documented.
Do you buy equipment that is still energized and in service?
Yes, and most of what we buy is. We quote it now and remove it on your cutover date. Telling us at the quote stage which Rochester assets are still live lets us build the phasing and the clearance coordination into the schedule from the beginning.
Our electrical room is in a basement with a tight door. Is that a problem?
It is routine. Switchgear sections, transformers and gensets frequently have to be cut down or partially disassembled to clear a door width, an elevator limit or a stair turn. The access survey at your Rochester site establishes the path before we commit to a date, and that cost is already inside the offer.
Will you take the equipment we cannot sell along with the good items?
Yes, and this is usually why sellers choose us. Cherry-picking leaves you holding the leftovers of the leftovers. We price the Rochester lot as a whole — good gear, obsolete gear and the scrap fraction together — so the electrical room ends up genuinely empty.
Do you provide documentation for surplus property or audit records?
Yes. Itemized purchase agreements, weight tickets, bills of lading, oil disposal manifests and recycling documentation are standard on Rochester purchases. Public agencies and audited facilities get the paperwork their process requires without having to ask twice.
