👍 copper copper!

[@dr.a006]

That copper came out real slick!

[@steveherr450]

I have about 50 of these to cut up yet that I got when I had a plumber on my route. He was great for these plus water heaters, pressure tanks and sinkerators but those are mainly aluminum wire but they are fast to clean so i still do it. when the scrap prices went back up he started doing it himself again. hopefully he calls me back when prices go back down, I don't mind separating and holding during market crashes as long as the scrap is free.

[@scrapitall200]

I’ve done 4 of these now and it was the first one to be copper. Yes, free scrap is the way to go lol.

[@steveherr450]

@@scrapitall200 Just to be clear on my statement above when I said they are mainly aluminum i meant the sinkerators. I never really got household sump pumps before until i had this 1 plumber and i threw them all in a later to do pile but that time is coming soon.

[@scrapitall200]
