    I try and not turn in them this time a year, Turn them in in a few months ago and no questions... This time The guy tells me that they are christmas light wire so they go in with that (for .15 lb). I say I cut off alll bulbs so that they can go in with the #2 ins wire ($1 lb) he says ok but next time leave the bulbs on for christmas wire price... I don't think the bulbs will make up the .85 difference...

    yess I think ill save them for mid year but wire that small/thin they call it low recovery where im at. I even had mixed appliance wire, power cords and kept the small stuff separated but unless you have some thick wire at this yard its low recovery so.. im buying a stripper from tnt tooling (from Canada) unless I find one of exact nature.. cost 64 plus 9 to ship.
