CATV - Does your yard take it? What do they pay?

Shoot. Title tells it all.



Even a fool looks wise when he keeps his mouth shut...

Yeah we buy it. If it has a copper coated steel middle, we buy it for a copper bearing and pay .20/lb. If it has a Copper middle wire, we pay .95/lb. Most of the time we buy it all as the .20 as separating it takes way to long.

Yards by me wont buy it so I mix it in with my sheet iron / steel .095 a lb

Ok, what is CATV?

Ahh. Yeah, i figured after i posted, but wasnt too sure and didnt want to make an @$$ of myself.

This new kitten will be the 5th cat I've had, and I'm seriously considering CAT V for his name or nickname.

That's a great idea Scraplogic. I'm a cat person, too. Love dogs, too. Have 3 of each. I have a friend who named his cat Mandu...after Katmandu in India. (I think it's in India!!??)

Name it Copper

We have one named Linnex and one named Mac(for Macintosh),

A good friend always told me this. "Before you name your pet, picture being outside in your yard yelling the pets name real loud when it has ran off. " Sound advice.

yep....40 years ago my grandmother named her black dog the "Nword". I'm ashamed to say that we were all racists and bigots back then (thank God for grace and redemption) and we thought it was funny. Not now. I've heard of several Dammit's and I'm sure you've all heard others you wouldn't want to go around the neighborhood yelling ! lol parrothead

Coax goes with #2 insulated here.

My place wont even buy it - they said its junk and to throw it away since there is so little copper in it. I had a huge bunch I had found and so had to toss it in the garbage.

I found some really heavy 1/2" diameter stuff where they were remodeling a Circuit City store. It had (what I'm assuming is) braided plated copper on the outside and a foam core wrapped in aluminum that had a solid 16 gauge wire in the middle.

It wasn't that hard to strip so I stripped it. The other that is smaller is still in the "crap wire" gaylord.

I found a 1,000ft spool of Coax Cable yesterday come to find out that the yards around here won't take it. I'm probably gonna just use it to stuff an appliance on my next load as mick suggested. Thanks for the tip!

Thats why I love getting washers and dryers, those tubs hold a LOT of extra stuff.

I have a 7 month old boxer dog named Scrapper....Femal black and tan.....
