April Recycling Tip: Pinky Wire Rule

April 3, 2018

When recycling wire, we advise that you separate the different types of wire. For example, if you have bare copper wire, it’s best to keep it separate from other wires that are insulated. Moreover, when you have a good amount of insulated wire, stripping it can make you more money. We use the “pinky wire rule” as a standard for when it’s worth stripping insulated wire. Basically, when you have wire that’s thicker than your pinky finger, you should take the time to strip it for the copper inside.
