hobo finds 
Well a new scrap yard opened up here and they are starting to change how the other yards are buying items. They take all grades of steel which is good as you can now get prepared prices for steel when before all peddlers just got shred price. Well now they have a copper content category $.10 lb for cord ends and cut off Christmas light bulbs. They say #2 insulated wire must have no ends on at all. At my main yard I (hopefully) can still take my #2 insulated wire with the female ends on and brass prongs pulled out of other end. My other wire like phone cord,s rca jacks and such I would cut off those ends and get shred (one time I got dirty brass price). So it looks like a good deal for the cut off bulbs and the ends that I would only get shred for.
