I would say there is a fair amount of scrappers in BC.... I am in Kamloops, British Columbia... has about 80,000 people and if you include rural areas and anywhere within 45 mins, you can up that number too 100,000+ .... the scrap yard go to has been open since the 60's and there is another one in town that has been open about the same time.....a 3rd one opened up a few years ago.
The mail one I go to has all kinds of people going to it... businesses, demolitions, govt contracts, plus guys like me who do it as a hobby and to supliment income... there is even people who ride in on bikes or push in shopping carts.
I can't give you a deffinite number, but everyone and their dog is doing it here... I don't even need to ask what the price of copper is... I just have to watch the news and when copper theft goes up in the Vancouver area (3.5 hrs south/west of me), I know it's time to take my copper in.
