ahhh you said it like a professional you know i do break down all my tv scrap as well. My Tv harvesting skills are really good i just need to find a method that is quicker at stripping off electrical tape bands that contain aluminum and copper. I mainly only cut the tape off of the thick ones so i can pass it as #2 copper wire instead of it passing as insulated wire.

Insulated wire is 85 cents to $1.00 a pound. IT dropped 25 cents in the last week meanwhile, #2 copper wire is $2.10-$2.65 a lb. so why make 85 cents to a dollar when i could make 2.10 to 2.65 for a few extra minutes.



I smash yokes, have a freezer buyer, and a well surrounding area that carries junk.... WA is full of apartments who cannot afford or do not want to pay for dump services. The thing is my living standards is "comprimised" by the area i live in so i cannot set up a bunch of barrels everywhere like we did down south. If i lived in a house i would be guaranteed money every day... Even if i had 6 dollars in my pocket for gas i come back with more then i had before as well with extra cash for the misses and a small hint for me. I like what you suggested, but microwaves? I usally just straight steel scrap stuff like that. You gave me some good hints though.
