wire

If you scrap often, chances are you've come across some aluminum wire. Wire is one of the best ways to get the most value for each load of scrap you bring into the yard, because it's easy to work with and it's easy to find a lot of it at once. As much as you hear about copper wire, aluminum wire doesn't seem to get as much attention. While many of the basic principles are the same as far as scrapping it goes, it's worth noting the differences to ensure you get the most for your scrap!
