Alot. Check with your local salvage yard or recyclers (they'll be in the yellow pages) for price per pound.

Hi to All You Guys,
You all haven't considered that it is still worth more than a "so much per pound value".
If it is still in a very usable condition, some one would probably be willing to buy it from you, if you offered it for sale at even 3/4 the retail price that the local home center is selling it for.
People like to do small projects and not want to spend big bucks at the home centers.
If there is a goodly quantity though, and not any good lengths, then for sure un-load it at a recycler.
My 2 cents, hope this helps,
Dave

Well deepends what state you may live in. However CooperThefts is very common in Northern CA. The Thefts have
hit new construction sites pulling Street Lites, wire, even some street lite wires. Just to get the cooper wire then taking them to recyclers or scavengers that pay upto $1.50 to $2.50 lbs. plus show a valid ID of person that sale it to the Recyclers location.
So the Law Enforcement agency is having hard time to catch
the thefts suspects. Then not to mention the public utility, and
construction company officials that have to replace items stolen.
This normally means either Higher house cost or public tax payers bare the cost of ths cooper wire or pipe stolen.

I was just at our local recycle center this week taking in aluminum cans(in SoCal). I think the sign said $1.50 a pound for copper. That is the best price of anythng there. Copper is excellent. You might try to clean them up if they are dirty. I think you'll get a better price for it. Good luck :-)

It all depends on where you live. Also if it is not a certain amount of pounds you would have to deliver it to the recyclers (I looked into it myself already). Anything more than 1 pound would be worth the trip though because of the value of gas (per gallon) is less than that of a pound of copper.

About 70 cents a pound. Make sure you have a tax licence when you go to turn it in at the salvage yard. This stops people from stealing material and then turning it in with no fear of getting caught.

You have the makings of a wind chime company. Easy to make a very profitable since you got the main material FREE. Fishing line and a few pieces of wood and you have your next BMW. Get someone else to do it and take 40% if you don't want to do the whole job. See them on EBay. I'll buy one.

*drool* a bit of change, check your local scrap yard. or keep it around for some poor artitst to buy from you for one of his projects (i have a scrap pile in my back yard for an art project i'm going to do very soon, and i am always looking for copper, so you might go to the scrap yard and to an artist and see who will give you the most, have your own little auction)

That's good money there.
Call some local contractors and the recycling place to find out approx. values per lb.
