I am curious if there are refiners out there who will accept scrap wire that returns either some percentage in payment or who process on a per lb basis? In each gaylord I recycle there will be copper obviously, brass in the plug ends, trace amounts of gold due to ribbon and network cables that I rarely lop the ends off of, and potentially silver depending on what I have been tearing down.
I have never taken the time to burn down a test sample to see what percentage of weight is copper and what is plastic, but I am guessing its close to 50% each way. Any possible PM recovery would be a bonus 8)
