According to their website they buy all e waste except tv's and monitors. I've not been to this yard as I have several yards closer. They do have a daily recorded price list if you call the number.
Bottom and the ends of the top were cast aluminum, but this was a quick load and go so I didn't break down much. I did cut the #2 insulated off of the light fixtures but that was about it.

The THHN was 12 gauge, I was thinking #1 insulated oh well. Looking at other recent threads 80 cents IS a little better.
The screen frames were clean too. Rubber splines and cast corners were removed. Brought 30 cents as irony extrusions. Next load will go without removing the corners.
