I guess people are stealing copper everywhere these days. I've had jobs where we've pulled in wire on Friday and came back on Monday morning to find that it had been cut out or even pulled out of the conduit it was installed in. I agree with the people above…..take pics to prove where you got it from. CYA is always a good thing

Depends where you are I guess. Clean #1 copper is worth about $3 a pound in northern Illinois right now.

Now they are pretty strict about recycling copper, you have to prove where you go it, if it is alot,cause folks are robbing construction site etc. Good luck take your Id etc so they don't think you are a hobo you feel me?

It's worth 2.50 lb where I live..in FL. Not sure where you could go. We go to a scrap recycling place here in town. See if you have one near by.

We don't have to tell them where its from…not that it would matter. My husband works and is allowed to take the leftover scrap if the other workers don't take it. We just have a scrap pile and bring it back every couple of months. If you are not stealing it then I wouldn't worry about that.
