    Anyone have any idea what the scrap value of 100 ft of 224-100 amp electrical wiring would be?

    Should be at #1 price if it is stripped,#1 being the highest price of 1 and 2. It is usually easier to strip and if it aint, it should be...Here in Ohio its bringing around $3.12 a pound...Stripping it so it is clean and bright brings the biggest amount...Thanks for your post and "...KEEP ON SCRAPPIN"...Scott

    With the insulation stripped off, about about $3.00 a pound as #1 Copper. With the insulation still on, about half that as Insulated Copper. Easy enough to figure - weigh a foot of it and go from there. It's really hard to say what that particular insulation weighs per foot but I generally allow 10%.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    I'm not up on my electrical terminology enough to know--is it copper for sure? Or is it Aluminum? Lots of electrical service lines are aluminum...

    I also am not up on my electrical terminology either. Should of done a little more research on the wire for details before posting. I'll look into it a little better and post the details of the wire.
