Most scrap yards will buy christmas lights in a separate #2 Ins. category or low grade #2 Ins. Our yard for example pays (#2 Ins. Low Grade) $0.73 a pound for christmas lights .

How about 80 cents pound for the mini bulbs, then you can sell your copper wire at a higher grade. I could use about 50 pounds of mini bulbs mixed or preferably sorted by color.

That time of year again. The first set I found was elaborately wrapped around and through an artificial tree. The untangling process left a mess of green plastic confetti on my floor.
I always clip the bulbs off on mine, usually do it while watching tv

The buyer I was referring to has gone AWOL. I haven't noticed anyone taking his place, but I haven't been looking for one either. Probably a good item for obne of our ebayers to add to thier buy lists, there have been a few people asking about it in the last couple months.Originally Posted by MattInTheHat
Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.

That was some tremendously wasted effort. Most of the string is synthetic fiber or something like that instead of wire.

Were I work we buy X-mas lights as grease wire .15 a pound. The recovery of X-mas lights with bulbs is about 21 percent, without bulbs maybe 30 percent, you need a least a 45 to 55 percent recovery for #2 insulted. So we just bale them with our com. wire and export.
