Buying scrap copper at low prices?

I know copper sells for a higher price but its good to have your hand in many cookie jars. If one dries up you will have the others to fall back on. I work for a company that has about 60lbs of copper wire a week in scrap. I pay them what yard gives them. Its all types mixed so they get paid lowest price for all. I match price, separate and strip what I can. Perhaps offer matching what they get per pound and see if its worth doing the same. Might work out for you.
