Wire and Cable buyers serving Des Moines
Des Moines sits in Washington, where Puget Sound Energy, Seattle City Light, Tacoma Power, Avista, Snohomish County PUD, Chelan and Grant County PUDs feed the load and I-5, I-90, I-405 and Highway 2 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Vancouver, Everett and Bellingham are routine stops and Des Moines work routes with them.
Documentation travels with the job: a certificate of insurance naming your entity, a W-9, a signed purchase agreement itemizing each asset and its price, oil or PCB manifests where applicable, and weight tickets or a bill of lading for what leaves the Des Moines site.

Equipment
What we take out of Des Moines 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.
Washington specifics
Washington splits at the Cascades and the two halves produce completely different equipment. West of the mountains the work is aerospace and marine: Boeing and its supplier base around Everett, Renton and Auburn, the Puget Sound shipyards and naval facilities, the container terminals at Seattle and Tacoma, and a dense stock of older industrial buildings along the Duwamish being converted or demolished. Hospital and university plants in Seattle replace essential-power systems on documented programs, which is the kind of paperwork that moves an offer up. East of the Cascades is where the heavy gear is: aluminum smelting legacy at Wenatchee and Goldendale, food processing across the Columbia Basin, the Hanford site and its contractors, and the hydro-fed data center corridor at Quincy and Wenatchee that runs on cheap power and upgrades on a fast cycle. The public utility districts matter here in a way they do not in most states — Chelan, Grant, Douglas and Snohomish own their own distribution, so clearance procedures and surplus disposal practices vary by district and we plan for that rather than being surprised by it.

Common questions
Des Moines questions
What is the smallest job you will take in Des Moines?
A single transformer, one switchgear section, a pallet of breakers or a few boxes of breakers is worth a call. Because we route crews across Washington continuously, small Des Moines pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Des Moines site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Des Moines is a few business days for a straightforward removal and one to two weeks for a full plant scope that needs phasing, rigging plans or utility coordination.
Do we have to disconnect the equipment before you arrive?
No. We handle removal. Your electrician or the utility performs the final isolation and we verify it; from there our crews lock out, cut and cap cable at the gland, unbolt the sections, skate them out and load them. If the Des Moines room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Des Moines?
Oil is tested, drained and manifested through licensed handlers, and you receive the documentation with your paperwork. PCB-suspect units go under a separate waste profile. Nothing is left on your pad in Des Moines and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Des Moines dock. Wire, company check or cashier's check, whichever your accounting group prefers. On large phased projects we pay per load as it ships rather than holding everything until the end.
