  I have about 80 pounds of bare bright wire and 20 pounds of oxidized 6 Guage do I need to separate them or will they do it at the scrap place?

  Meanwhile... here... they are thinking of increasing jail time and fines for those yahoos "saving the planet" by dismantling the electrical grid, and pulling comm cables out of the ground, for the copper. More costs, and disruption... added onto the back of the average person... just so that some guy can score a case of beer, and some cigarettes.

  @@Zizarkis1 Also it depends on where you live, I find it is harder to get things like nitric acid and such in Canada than the US for example…have to justify and get from a certain place, whereby you can probably pick these types of items up at a lot of stores in the states.

  @@TinManScrapper Yeah it is fairly easy to get it here in Arkansas. I can order what I need online at the moment. I haven't gone as far as to do so yet because I don't have enough silver saved up to justify trying to recover it. If it is hard for you to get in Canada you can always make your own nitric acid from nitric containing fertilizer.

  You could also stockpile the copper and once you have a big load drive it to a scrapyard a little ways away. Not sure your situation but I will bring my lower priced items to Sarnia (20 mins. away) and copper, brass, gold circuit boards, extrusion, wire, etc to London 50 mins. away. The price is well worth the gas on the vehicle.
