One of the yards here requires that all ends must be cut off wire or they won't take it. Needless to say, I don't take my wire there. I still cut gold ends off though and toss them in a bucket. If their value increases I'll sell them as gold ends. If not and I have to clean house and get rid of them then I'll toss them into the wire bin. It still only takes a second to clip them off. As far as the pipe smasher goes, put them in the freezer for a day or two first. When I was crazy save everything and break down as far as possible guy I Had an old really heavy duty paper shredder that I would run the ends through and it worked pretty well. Even the printer ends got chewed up. Don't do that anymore though.
