    I'm getting a "file not found" error on your link





    Yards near me are not allowed to purchase burnt copper; I have a feeling this will become the norm as time increases. There are short-cuts to profit but not without repercussions. Things like cutting freon lines in AC's, burning copper, trowing TV glass in the landfill, etc, will only bring unneeded negative attention to scrappers. If were not careful, you may see future legislation that prevents scrap yards from buying scrap from anyone without proper certifications. These things are already discussed in some environmental forums.[/QUOTE]
