If I strip all the copper piping from an average one story house, how much money on average can i get for it at a metal scrap yard.
Yes you can, find a local recycling scrap yard in your area. The amount of money you are paid depends on the grade of the copper, copper pipes will bring a little less than copper wiring. Take the plastic sheath off of the wiring first, it's best to do this with a razor blade laying the wire on a board being extremely careful! I would not suggest burning it. That is a fast way yes, but it degrades the copper and makes it less valuable. My husband just bought several spools of wire at a garage sell for 10 bucks, spent a week stripping it in his spare time and just sold it to the recycling center fot 173 bucks. Not bad.

Depends on how many pounds of copper you end up with & the current going rate for copper when you get to the scrap yard. I just scrapped 208 lbs of copper wire on Thursday & got paid $3.20 a pound.
