You don't need to strip 5 #, you can just strip a foot, use a postal scale that measures in grams to get your recovery percentage.
Price by me ranges from $.30 up to $.90 !!!! Ya I know, WTF, I go to the higher place, lol. All non-ferrous has been nuts lately ! ;)))))
Stainless by me is the highest I can remember @ $.90 #, but I still won't breakdown washers. Not worth the time and effort and I like getting paid sheet price for all the plastic and concrete dead...
I use a 6" metal/diamond blade on my 4" grinder, cuts deeper and works GREAT !!! Just don't get bit by it, burns like #@%*... !!!!
(EDITED) One of the most useful and time saving tools I use is an old 14" vertical wood cutting bandsaw. I run a good quality 14tpi metal cutting blade and cut up all my non-ferrous and radiators. It...
$170 and $185 and $220 at 3 local yards. Guess which 2 I don't frequent?
Copper by me is over $4 pound !!!!! $4.20 #1 and $4.01 #2 !!!!!!!
Unless you can find someone who wants to make whirly gigs, wigs or confetti out of it all its good for is landfill.
Calculating % is simple math, stripped weight divided by whole weight. (1# 5oz) 21 oz divided by (2# 9oz) 41 oz = .512 or 51.2%. Remember the larger the wire size the heavier the insulation. My yard...
THEY ARE BACK, a friend of mine got one today for his truck warranty after 3 weeks of nothing. Maybe were over the hump !!! LOL
I've been using Dewalt 20v cordless 1/4" impacts for years, lightweight, long battery life, no issues ever !!! Most any of the name brand cordless tools with the lithium batteries should be good.
The BEST and CHEAPEST "tarp" I use is an old trampoline mesh mat !!!!
Not worth the time and effort to separate. I cut off the clean copper ends on a woodworking vertical band saw with a metal cutting blade. Takes about 10 seconds a side, nice clean cut, steel plate...
Last time I checked bare Ext. were $.67, painted Ext. @ $.60, old sheet AL. @ $.31.

Scored some 10) servers and 2) battery backups this weekend, wondering if there is any value OVER scrap price. All got rained on before I got home. All hard drives were...

Depends on your Yard but mine takes them as Aluminum Siding or Old Sheet Aluminum.
No bites or nibbles, looks like it's getting stripped down for scrap this week.
Sheet/ shred: Wisconsin $195 net ton or $9.75 per hundred or $.0975 per pound. My load was 7500#. My closest yard at $165 and my favorite (but farthest away) yard at $205. Unprepared at 215nt or...
Well, got it on the scale, a whopping 1360# on a pallet !!!
I've got a guy that buys my keyboards at sheet metal price after I cut the cords, should have 10 gaylords going in next week.
