The local yard that I found pays significantly less if the wire isn't stripped unfortunatly

Have you looked into shipping it out? Maybe worth shipping a 55gallon drum to a better buyer.

I thought about it but I really don't think that i have enough of it to make it worth shipping.

When shipping by large truck you can get the shipping down to 14or so cents a pound.

A stuffed 55gallon drum will be over 100pounds but lets say its just 100 for easy math. You will get around 1.2 or so apound....may not be able to sell as often but it will make the bottom line better in the long run.
