Light copper wire. It should pay anywhere from $0.40 to $1.25-ish per pound, depending on what kind of telephone wire it is exactly, and more importantly depending on how your yard grades it.

I agree, "telephone wire" could mean a ton of different stuff so you really didn't provide enough info.Originally Posted by zito

I'm assuming your talking about the kind that goes into your home phone. I just got #2 insulated price ($1.05 a Lb) for it yesterday. You really need to provide more information because there is a big difference in the kind that goes to your home phone:
and the stuff that goes on telephone poles.

My yard pays most telephone wire as "communication" $1.00 per lb.
1000 ft means nothing in tearms of scrap, its the weight that matters.

If it's the stuff outdoors then it might also be the copper clad stuff.
