So ive been scrapping metals for a few years now for extra cash( anything from the trash or craigslist i know i can gut for copper, brass, or aluminum). Been a while now that the scrap yard wont takr insulated copper. Well recently due to thievez they no longer take birnt copper either. So now i have buckets full of copper that needs cleaned so i can scrap it. Some people ruin things for everyone.

Not sure what you normally get paid for copper, but there's a place here that'll pay 3-5 bucks per pound depending on what season and they'll buy it in blocks of 5 tons at a time as a max. If you have more than 5 tons, I don't want to know how you managed to stockpile that amount.. lol

I used to have a job that let me keep scrap copper cable, #2 #6 1/0 2/0 and sometimes you wouod get some 350. The bigger stuff always got stripped down. I bought my $1000 tv with scrap, the wife was very happy about that!

Where I live they also have been busting any old style tvs left on the curb and taking something out of the back.

People been stealing manhole covers in the central valley too.
That's retarded.. the metal composition of a manhole cover only pays 165 for a ton of it.. would rather buy 1000s of strands of broken christmas lights and strip copper if it came to that.
