^^ My guess would be...Insulated Copper Wire #2 50-55% recovery ^^

the 50 to 55% is how they visually grade the amount of copper wire versus the amount of insulation.
I'm guessing that most of the 40# was mainly printer and monitor cables, that I cut the connectors off of, then strip the outer insulation. On top of the pile in the bucket, I had the #14 insulated.
A few bottles of ice cold water to the weigh master (nice guy), did the trick :)
Top of the class sir :-)Quote:

Stop giving your hard earn money to the cigarette companies, they already have millions
I would buy more gas than smokes and some new windshield wipers.
Another thing you can do with your scrap money is every time you go cash out at the scrap yard, go buy a role of quarters. Instead of smoking it up, save your health and some money. Not trying to bust your b&lls, just keeping it real.Quote:
