 If they don't treat Dave nicely, he may just keep his big red ball, and not share with rest of us. - Barry Bonzack [more] |

copper recycling for $?
Hey folks, just wondering...
Has anyone looked into the feasibility of doing a "Copper Drive"; that is, send out fliers/emails to collect copper around town, and drive it to a scrap metal dealer? It seems that at some threshold of quantity, it would be a good money-maker, I'm trying to figure out what that threshold is. The buying rate is about $2.30 to $3.00 a pound for copper. Scrappers take bare-bright copper at the high price, and insulated wire etc at the low price (brass is about $1.20). Compare that to aluminum which gets $0.50 a pound (and you need three times the volume to get the same weight). Seems a no-brainer, but maybe I'm missing something. Thoughts?
