Clean and bright copper is bringing almost $4/lb right now with a load of at least 500lbs. One man's trash is definitely my treasure!

So you must be the one that's stealing our copper pipes in AZ!!! No joke, some jack@$$ dug up about 100 feet of copper piping in the middle of the night and stole it right out of the ground. The recycling compounds were put on notice that they were not to accept "a large quantity of copper pipe" without calling the police.

Or you could just steal a bunch of catalytic converters...

I use Milage and Pallet bonuses.

Being a local truck driver for a great company, every 3 months we receive a mileage bonus. Plus, my company give us .50 cents for each pallet we can bring back. It usually averages about $350 every three months. If I don't want to dip into savings, I wait until I save enough bonus money.

Nah, I'm no thief. I've had my fair share of installs stolen just hours after laboring to put it in. Thousands of square feet of copper grounding grid, brand new reels of copper wiring, transformers, even fiber optic cables the idiots didn't realize was fiber and not copper until they ripped it out. All my scrap was obtained legit. Part of the perks of my job.

That's a great perk. Full return with zero investment! Your ROI can't even be calculated since you can't divide by zero!
