Have you ever gotten paid for your scrap metal? Its worth it! Last year, My grandfather (whos an electrian) and I cleaned out all the extra pieces of wire he had in his shed and i stripped it. We took it to a scrap place and they paid us $2.50 a pound for the copper. We didn't do it all at once but of the course of 2 months we made $800 off of it. It's like finding money in your house. The value of copper has gone down but not much. The scrap yard we go to still pays around $2.00 - $2.25 per pound of copper if its stripped. Un-Stripped wire is worht $1.50 a pound and copper pipe is about $1.75. It is worth is. We were getting about $75 each per week. Just wanted to share that with you incase you needed a way to earn extra dough.
