Copper or Aluminum fine wire .

ALL ELSE gets swept up put in a pail as Mix .

But at .21 is debatable as a good payer as is .

There are some modern types that have small transformers really embedded in tar with some boards wire or AL
but those i leave as is .
Over all you know the good ones as there heavy in your hand .
Bottom Line a ballast from many many years aqo or King size ones , have great copper weight .
yep the big ones are nice to find
lots of copper in those
