    I am also going through wire. I was stripping the outer jacket and removing ends (pretty sure that is how my yard wants it), just leaving the inner insulated conductors. Then I decided to call the yard to ask about grades. They tell me they only have one. They call it unburnt copper and it is currently around $0.42 per pound.

    Doesn't sound right to me, but hey, that is less work if that truly is the case.

    Copper, brass, and Leather. 3 of my favorite things.

    Its a small yard in Middleport. I grew up with the owner. She inherited it from her father. My location says Rochester but I'm actually about 35 miles West.

    FYI - I called Weitsman one day and asked about low grade boards. They told me $0.01 per pound, LOL
