    wire scrap

    In order to make it worth striping the wire has to have a high recovery. Let's say you had 1000 lbs of Romex wire the recovery is 62% so if you striped it you would end up with 620 lbs @ $3. A pound you end up with $1860 but if you don't strip it at 2 a lbs you would get $2000 with no work.
