Skokie, IL · Electrical Wire And Cable Buyers
Sell Wire and Cable in Skokie, IL
Skokie facility and construction teams call us when equipment is coming out and nobody wants to coordinate an electrician, a rigger and a hauler around one outage window. We are all three, and we pay you for the equipment on top of it instead of charging you to haul it away.

Wire and Cable buyers serving Skokie
Skokie sits in Illinois, where ComEd, Ameren Illinois, MidAmerican feed the load and I-90, I-94, I-55, I-80 and I-290 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. Chicago, Elk Grove Village, Aurora and Northlake are routine stops and Skokie 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 Skokie site.

What we take out of Skokie 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.
Illinois specifics
Chicago-area heavy manufacturing left an enormous installed base of Square D I-Line and Westinghouse busway and bus plugs, and Cook County demolition volume means we are in the metro nearly every week.

We cover Illinois statewide, so if the equipment is not in Skokie itself, one of these is probably closer:

Skokie questions
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Skokie, or just broker it?
We buy it. Industrial Electrical Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Skokie to disconnect and load, and take title when the equipment leaves your dock. There is no third party behind us waiting to approve the price.
What is the smallest job you will take in Skokie?
A single transformer, one switchgear section, a pallet of bus plugs or a few boxes of breakers is worth a call. Because we route crews across Illinois continuously, small Skokie pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Skokie site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Skokie 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 Skokie room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Skokie?
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 Skokie and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
