it depends on the type of scrapper you are.
the big guys are busy and its not feasible for them to spend time removing the copper from motors.
cos they could be earning much more out there.

people like me, well were not busy on a daily basis, so it would be very sensible to use that free time to remove the copper from motors etc.

Actually it is better to break down the motors depending on the size of the motor.
I breakdown any motor over 1/2 lb.
and before anyone asks - i only strip #1 wire or better
