01Contact Houston Wire Buyers by Phone, Text or Email
The Houston Wire Buyers phone number is 951-403-5738. Call to discuss your surplus material, or text photos of the wire and its identifying labels. You can also email industrial832@gmail.com with photos and an inventory description. Use whichever channel lets you clearly show what you have and where it is located.
Our address is 6402 McGrew St, Houston, TX 77087, in southeast Houston's Mayfair area, near I-45 and I-610. This is an appointment-only drop-off location. Contact us before loading or transporting material so we can review it and arrange the next step.
We focus on new, unused and reusable surplus wire, rather than treating every load as scrap. Copper and aluminum material may be suitable, whether it is on full reels, partial reels, in coils or in boxes. Tell us if you have a mixed inventory so we can understand the separate items.
For a structured way to submit your material details, use the offer request page. If you want background before reaching out, read about Houston Wire Buyers. We are not affiliated with Houston Wire & Cable Company or any manufacturer.
02What to Include in Your First Message
Start with clear photos of reel tags and jacket print, then include the available footage or weight and the material's location. Labels help identify conductor size, wire type, manufacturer and date code. A wider photo of each reel, coil or box helps show packaging and visible condition.
A useful first message includes:
- Photos of reel tags, jacket markings and the overall material.
- Copper or aluminum conductor, wire type and size, if known.
- Available footage or weight and whether quantities are estimates.
- Full reels, partial reels, cut lengths, coils or boxes.
- Your Greater Houston location and site access details.
- Any known damage, missing labels or storage concerns.
Do not guess at specifications that you cannot confirm. If a label is missing or unreadable, say so and send the clearest available photos. Keep differently marked items separate in your description so the review does not confuse one product with another.
We buy sizes from 18 AWG to 1000 kcmil across building, industrial, utility/medium-voltage, flexible, bare copper and specialty cable categories, as well as cable assemblies. Review the wire types we buy if you need help describing your inventory. Material intended for reuse needs an honest condition description; short, burned or heavily damaged wire may be better suited to scrap.
03Arrange a Drop-Off Before Visiting McGrew Street
Drop-off at our McGrew Street address is by appointment only. Call first, even if you already know the location or are traveling near I-45 or I-610. Sending material details before your visit gives us a basis for review and helps establish what you plan to bring.
The selling process starts with your photos, footage or weight, and location. We review those details, provide a written offer, and then schedule pickup or drop-off. At the appointment, we verify the material on site, with payment per the written offer. A scheduled visit does not replace that verification step.
Before transporting your wire, make sure your description reflects the actual items being brought. If the quantity, condition or mix of material changes after the review, contact us with the updated information. Keep reel tags and other identifying labels with their corresponding material where possible.
Do not arrive expecting an unscheduled unloading or an offer based solely on a general description. Reviewing the inventory first is part of how we assess reusable material. Read how the selling process works for the sequence from your first message through on-site verification and payment.
04Schedule Pickup Across Greater Houston
Houston Wire Buyers serves Greater Houston only. Scheduled pickup is available at the seller's site within Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Chambers and Waller counties. Send the material location with your first message so we can review pickup logistics alongside the wire itself.
For a pickup discussion, explain where the material sits and how it can be accessed. Mention whether the inventory consists of reels, boxes, loose coils or cut lengths. Photos of the stored material can help clarify the scope of the load, while reel tags and jacket print establish what the wire is.
Pickup scheduling follows material review and a written offer. Pricing considers conductor metal markets, wire type and demand, size, footage, packaging condition, manufacturer and date code, quantity, and pickup logistics. Reusable wire is usually worth more than scrap value, but condition and identification matter; not every item qualifies for reuse.
We do not extend our service area beyond Greater Houston. If you are unsure whether your location falls within coverage, include your city and county when you contact us. See wire pickup in Houston for pickup information and our Greater Houston service areas for coverage details.
05Send After-Hours Messages by Text or Email
If you are reaching out after hours, send a text to 951-403-5738 or email industrial832@gmail.com. Include your material photos and inventory details in the message so there is useful information to review when we respond. A text or email does not confirm an appointment or pickup time.
You do not need to have every specification ready to begin the conversation. Send what you can verify, identify any estimates, and explain what information is missing. For example, if you have a partial reel but do not know the remaining footage, state that clearly rather than presenting an uncertain quantity as exact.
Keep follow-up details connected to your original inquiry where possible. If you find a clearer reel-tag photo or discover additional material, send the update through the same conversation. This helps keep the inventory description consistent as we review it.
Wait for scheduling confirmation before bringing wire to McGrew Street or making arrangements around a proposed pickup. After-hours contact is a way to submit information, not a promise of immediate review or service. For additional selling questions, visit our surplus wire FAQ.

FAQQuestions sellers ask
Can I contact you if I am not sure whether my wire is reusable?
Yes. Send photos that show the wire's markings and condition, and describe any known damage. We will tell you what is reusable. Short, burned, cut or heavily damaged material may be better suited to scrap; our focus is on material that can be reused, not simply its metal content.
Should I send footage or weight if I only know one?
Send the information you have, and identify whether it is measured, taken from a label or estimated. Do not assume an original reel tag shows the footage remaining on a partial reel. Explain any uncertainty so we can distinguish the marked original quantity from the material currently available.
Can you give me a price from a phone description alone?
A phone description can start the conversation, but photos and quantity details support the material review needed for a written offer. A general description does not establish all the factors affecting value. Labels, visible condition, packaging and location help us evaluate the specific inventory rather than quote an unsupported rate.
Can you tell me whether surplus cable is suitable for my installation?
Installation suitability is a question for a licensed electrician or engineer. Our review concerns purchasing surplus material, not approving its use in a particular electrical system. Keep product markings and documentation available for your design professional, who can assess the cable against the project's requirements and applicable standards.
