Ok so ive asked this in a previous thread, and have searched, for it with no exact answer...im talking about the tin coated copper on tvs n monitors that has insulated wire connected to it as well as small brass connectors..

So what do you guys do with this.?..ive been clipping the insulated wire n tossing the tin coated copper w brass connected into a 55 gallon drum.. ive been told it goes as #2 copper but brass is worth less.. therefore im still confused..thx in advance
