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

Scrap yard here is paying 3.15 right now. Wish i had 5 tons. Or even one.
 
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.

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.
