I heard bcuz of the new law Scrap Yards are not accepting burnt copper but one in Ga told me that a few places in Alabama will still accept it bcuz their law will not go into effect until October. Does anybody know a specific scrap place that is still accepting at this time? Thanks.

We don't recommend burning your wire for two reasons;
#1 We would like to leave this world better for our children, air wise and burning is pollution.
#2 You are losing 25-30% of your material by being burnt up. A 25% loss really adds up after some time.
