What is the best way to resell scrap wiring?

I have a LOT of scrap wires just laying aroundThe ones i have stripped are solid copper or soldered copper (with tin i believe)Am i wasting my time by stripping it, or should i just leave the wiring inside of its plastic jacket? Where is a decent resale place? I also have quite a few aluminum heatsinks and older computer parts lying around for resale alsoThanks!

Answer:

We do this, tooWe take stuff to a metal recycler in our area that we found in the yellow pages under 'recyclers-metal' or something similarWe have several in the area, so we called around to see who bought what we wanted to sellAt first, the place we go only took wire if it was stripped, but now they take it either way (pay a little more stripped, tho)Since you don't say where you are, I can't find a place for you - you'll need to check your local phone bookFind a place to buy it first - once you have, they can tell you which way they need it and how much they're paying (varies)Generally, the same place will also take your aluminum, too (pop cans, also, if you save them).
