What drives cable surplus in the Midlands

('What drives cable surplus in the Midlands', ["Columbia's institutional base — state offices, the University of South Carolina, hospitals and Fort Jackson — produces a steady stream of renovation surplus: building wire, MC cable, data cable and service upgrades. Institutional projects are well documented, which makes valuation straightforward.", 'Outside the capital, distribution centers along I-20 and I-26 and manufacturing plants in Orangeburg, Sumter and Newberry generate conveyor control cable, VFD cable, tray cable and large feeder conductor.'])

('The distribution center factor', ['Midlands distribution centers are cable-intensive: conveyor networks, sortation systems, high-bay lighting and refrigeration. Each expansion or reconfiguration replaces motor and control cable, and each retrofit produces surplus.', 'Because these facilities are often part of national portfolios, surplus sometimes sits at a site with no clear owner. We work with both the operator and the contractor to establish who can sell and then quote the inventory.'])

('Pickup across a wide region', ['The Midlands stretches from Fairfield County in the north to Orangeburg in the south, with Columbia at the center. Pickup routes are planned around the I-20, I-26 and I-77 corridors, which keeps freight reasonable even for smaller lots.', 'For sellers in Sumter, Kershaw or Calhoun counties, combining inventory with a nearby facility is often the practical approach.'])
