Mt. Lebanon Pennsylvania Electrical Wire Buyers
Surplus wire from Mt. Lebanon remodelers, Uptown businesses and Bower Hill facilities, reviewed by buyers who know the South Hills.
Mt. Lebanon is fully developed, so almost every electrical job here begins with demolition. A kitchen remodel opens walls wired in the 1920s; a second-floor addition requires a new feeder; an Uptown storefront changes hands and gets a panel replacement before the next tenant moves in. Contractors working these streets produce small, frequent lots rather than warehouse-scale inventory. Most of it fits in a garage or a basement corner, and it accumulates because throwing away a half reel feels wasteful.
The most common item is service entrance cable pulled during a 100 to 200 amp upgrade, often aluminum, sometimes copper, and usually too short for the next job. Mixed in are partial reels of 12 and 14 AWG, coils of MC from basement finishes, and the occasional run of feeder left after a commercial build-out near Washington Road. Old cable removed during that work usually has salvage value only, and we say so before anyone loads it.
Industrial and commercial context in Mt. Lebanon
Washington Road carries Route 19 through the municipality, the light rail line runs along the old interurban right of way, and the Parkway West and Liberty Tunnels are a short drive away. There is no industrial district to load in. Reels come out of garages, alley-side basements and small commercial lots, so a pickup is usually a two-person job with a liftgate rather than a forklift. That is why the access description matters more than the size of the lot.

Selling surplus wire in Mt. Lebanon
Send a wide photograph of the lot, close views of every different reel tag, and the print line from the cable jacket. Add the approximate footage, the number of reels, the storage history and the loading access. That is enough for a first review, and it usually avoids a second round of questions.
Do not cut usable cable or remove tags before the review. If a reel was stored outdoors, say so; weathering at the ends and UV damage on the jacket affect how the material is quoted.
Selling wire in Mt. Lebanon: common questions
Is old service entrance cable from a 100 amp upgrade worth selling?
Usually at copper or aluminum value rather than as reusable wire. The lengths pulled from a house are short and the jacket is often brittle. Copper service cable from the 1960s still has real metal value, and we quote it that way without overstating it.
Mt. Lebanon has many 1920s homes with knob-and-tube. Do you want it?
We will review it, but expectations should be realistic. Knob-and-tube copper is thin, disconnected in pieces and has no reuse value, so it prices as scrap. If a rewire also produced new partial reels, keep the two separate and send photographs of each.
Can you pick up from an alley garage behind a Washington Road building?
Yes, provided the approach is described. Alley width, overhead clearance and whether the material sits on a shelf or the floor all matter. Lots that fit in a pickup bed are handled simply; a pallet in a tight alley may need to be broken down by hand first.
