Does it really prevent over-fizz when you tap the top of your soda can before you pop it open?
Electric motors are wound with copper wireAll appliances have motorsDishwashers might have some copper tubingDon't try to salvage metals from refrigeratorsYou could release freon into the atmosphereGas stoves have aluminum burners and copper tubingTaking the stuff may be considered stealingWhen the trash is at the curb it becomes property of the city.
I do hope that you know that without permission from the owner of the trash that is set out it can be construed as theft!
I have a buddy who cuts off all the extension cords, and brings them inAlso antique hardware off of doors is worth cleaning up an E Bay PS thanks for keeping the landfills for garbage only.
i could tell you a hot water cylinder is 100% copper, but it doesnt mean you will find onetake a magnet with you if it sticks its got iron - not a lot of scrap value, if it doesn't stick, hit it with a hammer, if it breaks its glass / china if it dents it may be plastic or any other non ferous metal
NoThis is just one more example of how people are so often like sheepThere are more examples of mindless habits people that actually DO NOTHING: 1Banging a pack of cigarettes into one hand before opening the packageIT DOES NOTHINGThe morons who do this cannot even agree on why they do itAsk fifty people and you will get forty different answers-that means NO ONE KNOWS WHY THEY DO IT!!! 2Wrapping a cold can of soda in aluminum foil before putting it in your backpack prior to leaving for schoolIf you pick up the can of soda and feel it (wrapped in aluminum foil) it feels cold doesn't itTHAT MEANS ALL THE COLD IS PASSING RIGHT THROUGH THE ALUMINUM FOIL!!! AND IT NOT INSULATING IT AT ALL!!! 3People mispronounce the word sherbet by saying sherbert add an ultrusive second RTHERE IS NO SECOND R, the word is pronounced Sher-bet Whew! I've got to calm down before I have a stroke.
