    If they work, try selling them at a bit above scrapping price on craigslist or maybe eBay. If they don't work, scrap them.

    Call the scrap yard and see if it matters whether you cut off the bulbs and such. I'm pretty sure insulated wire goes for about 30- 40 cents per pound

    It depends on the insulated wire. Most yards around me will pay less for christmas lights wire than most other (some wire with larger strands I can get around $1 a pound for). Your best bet is to call your yard you go to and talk to them, then take it from there.
