Total Scrap Noob. 1st day Thanks in advance

Welcome aboard! No right or wrong answers in the scrap business.



For example....You might take a couple intact cables to your local scrap yard and inquire. I have a local yard that is currently paying .95/lb for mixed wires, with/without, as they come. Prongs, plugs, gold, brass, whatever. My alternative is to clip "gold" ends and get $1.40 for those, but I have to pay freight. So I don't bother clipping or snipping anything. If it's a wire, it goes in the wire bucket.

That's what works for me...ask ten people on here, they'll give you ten variations, because that's what works for them. Some people even pull brass out of plugs, because that's what works for them, and it's all good.

Point being, read stuff, try stuff, experiment, make mistakes, have successes, learn from all of it, have fun, do it your way, make some extra cash.
