Where it turns up
Contractors working on the East Side and Midway keep partial reels in the shop for the next service change. Institutions and campus facilities hold maintenance stock in basement electrical rooms. Industrial buildings near the port hold tray and control cable from equipment replacements.
Church, school and municipal building projects produce small, mixed loads that are worth combining before a pickup.
Getting it out
St. Paul pickup notes

- Timing
- Weekday windows, school and institutional hours respected
- Constraints
- Narrow alleys, permit parking, older freight elevators
- Typical loads
- Service cable, partial reels, MC coils, control spools
Older buildings need a site photo more than a description. Send one with the inventory.
Alley access and narrow streets slow a pickup down, and a 53 ft trailer is not always the right vehicle. Tell us what the street and the service entrance look like.
FAQ
Questions we get from sellers
Do you buy service cable removed during an upgrade?
Yes, described as used and photographed. Removed service cable is quoted on remaining length and condition.

Yes. Tell us the window that works and the pickup is scheduled around it.
Do you buy from East Side manufacturers?
Yes. Tray cable, control cable and flexible cord are typical loads from those buildings.
