    You will not stop by my house and find that I am out buck hugging a tree. However, one of the things that brings me satisfaction is knowing I am helping the environment and keeping things from the landfill. Of Course cash is #1, #2 creating a downstream of economic activity at the yard, transportation, smelters, end users, #3 helping the environment.

    In addition to the harmful emissions from burning wire it will reduce your yeild. The crappy 40 something % from comuter wire could be like 35% then I get $0.80 per lbs for insulated, $2.60 for copper, it almost seems like a break even.
