The yard around here won't take wires with bricks still attached.
$0.28 /lb last I took wire in.

One yard in my area pays 30 percent copper price for just about any low grade. In this bin are jumper cables w/ clamps, intact droplights, lamp cord with bulb fixtures, other wire with plug ends, and such.
Realizing this on a past visit, I no longer cut off and pull the brass from the plug ends. They go in whole with just about any other "junk wire" I have accumulated. Personally, not worth my time to sort. Just my take on the subject matter.
Hopefully, they will pay a little better on the clean lamp cord I have stashed, when the time comes to sell.

Yes, I read/figured out that you had moved on. Best of luck to you in all your endeavors.

Happy Memorial Day to all.

Would that happen to be the one in Gasport? I have only been there twice but if they do pay that way, I'll have to consider using them more. Thanks!
Copper, brass, and Leather. 3 of my favorite things.

Being closer to buffalo, I deal with Niagara on Union Rd in Cheektowaga. This was about 6 mos. ago. Haven't been back yet, taking in non ferrous. The Gaylord was full of "unclean wire." Maybe take some in and see what they offer or call for pricing on 30% insulated wire. Ask about other tiers they buy and how much. I believe next lower grade is Xmas lights. Being they have 4 yards, you would think they would sort the same.
A friend just scrapped a single heavy extension cord. 7lbs.at .50 equals 3.50 for no effort seems pretty good to me.
