Re: Extra $$ on the side
 

I work construction, and our electrician gives me all of his scrap wire.. I strip it and it pays 2.80 cents/lb here and its rising. I've got about 150lbs I've stripped in the garage stripped and ready, and about another 100 lbs waiting to be stripped. It takes a while to strip w/ a knife, but I just sit on the couch and watch t.v strip it. Last time I took about 60 lbs to the recyclers, and a guy pulled in w/ a trailer FULL of clean copper, and got 10,000.00 cash on the spot. He must've set up a meeting w/ the owner, and had him have the cash ready. But if you know the right people scrap copper, or even alluminum pays decent.
