What is the going rate to recyle copper wire?

Check recycle world you may get 300-500 dollars. But that all depends on the amount.

Here's a link to the standard American Wire Guage table.  It has it all listed:\nhttp://www.eng.auburn.edu/~tdenney/ENGR1110/wireawg.html

FIRST!!!  TURN THE POWER OFF AT THE BREAKER OR SERVICE PANEL!!!!\n\nThen just remove an outlet or switch and look at the contacts....you should be able to identify the material by the color of the exposed wire.\n\nIf you are uncomfortable or unsure it is best to call a licensed electrician.\n\nGood luck and be careful.

After looking it up on the internet, it looks like a scam.  Try looking up Iridium Copper and see for yourself.

Copper is a tricky one, as there appears to be true demand from China and not that many new ways of digging up significantly more ore.  It might be that people who rely on copper decide to find ways to get around using copper.  Maybe aluminum cable instead?\n\nIn the case of zinc, there is a special price level maybe 10% or so above where it is now, where it is worth melting US pennies (which are 97.5% zinc).  At this price the zinc and copper in pennies becomes worth more than one cent per penny, plus the energy needed to melt it down.  There will then be a huge amount of illegal melting of pennies and demand will be satisfied for awhile.\n\nIn summary I think copper might be higher, but there is a lot of uncertainty due to the various things that could happen, such as a decrease in copper demand.  And zinc price could be limited by penny melting.  I wouldn't invest much in this area personally.

It doesn't affect it much at all, it is just a chunk of metal inside there. You would have probably just as much affect by adding 10 feet to the run of wire. \n\nUnless the breaker is old and gets hot from the increased resistance anyway. In that case you should replace it and then you will be fine.

why do you need it?  how much do you want to spend to figure out what it is, or what alloy it is. \n\nyou can just do the density measurement\nmeasure the radius of the wire and length. \ndo the pi r squared length deal and then weigh it, and run it through the density equation. \n\nyou need a ruler and a calipers or micrometer that reads in inches. \n\nso lets say you have .125 inch wire.  divide that by 2 to get the radius. =  .0625"\nthen square it.  .0039" and multiply by 3.14. \n\nand multiply it by the length in inches  \n\nthen weigh it.  in lbs. \n\ndensity of al is between .096 lb/cu in. and .100 lb/cu in\n\nyou might want to buy wire that is certified as the type of aluminum you need.  the stuff is cheap.  you can get at the electical supply store or maybe a hardware store. \n\nwiring used for electical applications is 8000 series alloy for modern applications \n\nolder wire is 1350 alloy.

Depends on the grade, purity, quantity, form and the like, but recyclers typically pay about $1.00 per pound for scrap copper material right now.  Expect the price of copper to generally rise with time as it is scarce in comparison to aluminum and steel.

A do-it-yourself project, could cost you about $2.00 if you know what you are doing, could cost you your residence if you do not know what you are doing.\nA qualified electrician should be able to fix your electrical outlet for about $25, prices may vary depending on how old your home is.
