There’s a dude in our town that has a lot where everyone dumps their scrap metal and he takes it to recycle. It’s pretty rad since our local trash service won’t take it (even though they dump everything together, including recyclables, at the transfer station to be hauled off to the dump out of town).
Hell yeah. I save all of our scrap copper over 6awg, and use it at the end of the year towards my employees’ bonuses.
