It's definitely a good idea as a Fundraiser.

Personally, my uncle used to be a plumber and every other week or so he'd bring home ~50lb buckets of copper scrap for my dad to sort through. If I remember correctly, at the time each bucket was worth about $100... Not too bad considering that my dad spent two hours at most sorting through it.

You'd be surprised what else you can scrap for decent money, radiators, old aluminum wheels, etc, if you're creative enough.
