There is a seperate grade for this called 'Nodule Scrap' which is wire under a certain length. I, too, just chuck it in with the rest of my insulated but I ALWAYS remove connectors - it just looks...

Aren't the rods in nuclear reactors graphite that absorb electrons?

Don't foget there may be lead in the handset (or a disappointing block of steel). It'd be much better if you could get more than scrap though...

That sounds like a whole lotta hassle. Hope it all goes according to plan for you!
