We buy surplus transformers from rural electric cooperatives.
Documented asset recovery they can report to the board.

We see the same units from rural electric cooperatives over and over. Here is what usually shows up and what we do with it.
Co-op yards carry the oldest installed base in the country. Line upgrades pull 10 and 15 kVA overhead units that went up in the seventies, and every one of them is a PCB question until somebody samples it. Meanwhile the board wants surplus property accounted for, not sitting in the weeds behind the pole barn.
We buy conventional and CSP polemounts in lots, padmounts from system upgrades, and the regulators and reclosers that come off with rebuild projects. Small lots are fine. Uniform lots of the same kVA pay better because they resell as blocks.
One offer, one truck, paperwork you can file.
The deal is built for board reporting: a written offer per lot, a manifest with serial numbers, PCB sampling on pre-1980 units at our cost, and a wire with paperwork your accountant can file. If the yard refills every year, put us on a schedule and stop thinking about it.

What rural electric cooperatives ask us first.
In lots, yes. A pallet of 25 kVA polemounts is a normal purchase for us. Copper-wound older units often carry more value than they look like they should.
A written offer, a per-unit manifest, and payment records. Asset recovery you can put in the minutes, not a handshake with a scrapper.
Yes. Post-storm takeout piles are time sensitive because of oil. Send a photo of the pile and a ZIP and we will get a truck moving.
