    burnt copper A NoGo

    I am on a family trip visiting my wife's sister, I am in Lawrenceville Georgia , As you figured I gave a little shot at scrapping, I took some copper from home also.
    I found curb hunting of no value - people are very clean and you just don't see TV's Vac Microwaves sitting on the curb I found one dumpster and that had a little bit
    But over all I found so much space Or area to cover with no return in the find. I did get 20 lb's wheel weights for free But If I lived here I feel it would be harder.
    Now the copper I took with me was not excepted and was told from here to Alabama burnt copper not excepted.

    Well that's a thought as wile my area cares not,
    When the chopping block chops by me I see I don't want to be stuck with any of it.
    I will say that they pay very well for wire with casing as much as 2.50 down to 1.05 clean #1 $2.95 Also payment is in the form of check !! I guess I am spoiled !!

    I was thinking a little muriatic acid to clean ??

    The pro's of GA
    Nice people Nice weather - lower taxes - I like it here - very calm - you all

    Ahh the heck I always loved the south .
