For Electrical Contractors

Job-site pickups on your schedule

We work around demo days, crane days, and inspection days. Tell us when the gear comes off the wall and we'll have a truck there — same week, often same day for Southern California sites. You get paid at pickup, your foreman signs one sheet, and your roll-off stays free for actual trash.

For yard cleanouts, we do it in one visit: walk the yard, price everything sellable, load it, write the check. Contractors tell us the yard looks bigger afterward. It does.

Why crews keep our number

Because the quote is real. The number we text you is the number on the check — no dockside re-trade, no 'condition adjustment' after loading. And because we answer: a human picks up, seven days a week, and most photo batches get a number back within the hour. That's the whole pitch. It's apparently rare enough to keep contractors calling us for fifteen years.

Where the money hides on a contractor's job

Most of what contractors sell us was never meant to be sold. It is the balance of an over-ordered job, the gear that came off a retrofit, the panel that got swapped for a bigger one, and the shelf in the back of the shop that has been accumulating since the last owner. None of it is doing any work where it sits.

The highest-value items in a contractor's shop are usually the oldest ones. New-in-box overage prices closest to wholesale, but obsolete breakers pulled off retrofits are frequently worth more per unit, because the buildings still running them have no other source. That is the opposite of what most people assume, and it is why the shelf in the back is worth photographing before it gets cleared.

• New-in-box overage from over-ordered jobs — near wholesale
• Breakers and panels removed during retrofits and upgrades
• Obsolete frames pulled off service calls — often the top payers
• Full and partial wire reels left after a pull
• Shop shelf stock accumulated over years

Fitting a sale into a contractor's week

The reason contractors stop selling surplus is friction, not price. So the process is deliberately short: text label photos from the truck, get a number back, and either drop off at our Corona yard or have us pick it up. You get paid at the transaction — not after we resell it.

For shops clearing space, sorting pays. Sorted pallets earn better numbers than mixed drums because we can price them precisely instead of conservatively, and sorting a shelf takes far less time than most people expect. If you would rather not sort, we still buy it — the number just reflects the uncertainty.

Paperwork is whatever your business needs. Most sales run on a simple bill of sale. If your bookkeeping or a GC's requirements need something more formal, tell us and we will provide it.
