A buddy of mine is an electrician and he just puts a razor blade in some vice grips and goes to town. They pay 2.50 around here for clean copper. Hell it's a fee pack of beer/cigs/sack whatever floats your boat. We still havent found a better way of doing it. Besides burnin and then sticking it in some sort of cleaner, and we've been doing this for months now heh.

good money considering 1 blade is longer than your standard semi-truck/trailer, and they stand probably 300ft tall. lots of wire in them bitches...
