\/>\n<strong>Likely Result<\/strong>:\u00a0 Illegal as per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/laws-regulations\/summary-clean-air-act\">Federal Clean Air Act<\/a> and could\u00a0 result in fines of<br \/>\n$25,000 USD plus max five-year jail sentence!\u00a0 Extremely hazardous to your health and the environment.<br \/>\n<strong>Scrap copper value<\/strong>:\u00a0 Not good.\u00a0 Scrapyards commonly penalize burnt copper and give you a lower rate for its blemishes.<br \/>\n<strong>Scrap wire copper quantity<\/strong>: Low<\/p>\n<p>Burning scrap wire is one of the easiest ways to recover the copper from the insulation.\u00a0 \u00a0 With that being said, there are huge risks in doing so, and we highly suggest you consider much safer and cleaner methods to strip scrap cable.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true that heat is used to strip copper wire in a commercial setting.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 there are big differences between burning copper wire over an open flame,\u00a0 as what an amateur might do vs. how an advanced factory which uses industrial incinerators with appropriate ventilation procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Burning insulated copper wire in an open flame releases toxins that can damage your nervous system, respiratory system,\u00a0 cardiovascular system, not to mention increasing your risk of cancer!\u00a0 So, why take that risk?<\/p>\n<p>As for the Environment, burning copper wire releases carcinogens and toxins into the air and into the ground around the burn site, including \u201cdioxins, furans, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, particulate matter, heavy metals (such as lead, arsenic, selenium, and cadmium) and other pollutants.\u201d\u00a0 Again,\u00a0 why take that risk?<\/p>\n<p>Fines for not following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/laws-regulations\/summary-clean-air-act\">Clean Air Act<\/a> are steep.\u00a0 You could face penalties in the tens of thousands of dollars or even jail time.\u00a0 Worse yet,\u00a0 If someone catches you burning insulated wire, the EPA gives out $10,000 rewards.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re caught and convicted, you could receive a $25,000 fine and a five-year jail sentence.\u00a0 In conclusion:\u00a0 <em>Burning scrap wire is dangerous and not worth it!<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>And lastly, Most scrap yard will only give you half the dollar value for burnt wire of what its worth as is with the insulation still on!<\/h3>\n<p>Bottom line: you would be much better off using a wire stripping machine to strip your scrap copper rather than burning!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>2.\u00a0 Stripping of the insulation with a Utility knife<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_380\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-380\"

Quickly they realize that burning wire and or stripping it with a utility knife will keep their business from growing so <strong>people start thinking of different ways to improve productivity.<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 When your first starting out,\u00a0 budget is tight and the first type of machine a budding scrapper metal guy will consider is a\u00a0 manual wire stripper.<\/p>\n<p>Manual wire stripping tools are normally mountable on a table or workbench and they have adjustable wheels to support the wire and 1 pin style blade to put a slit into the insulation.\u00a0 Truth be told, they really aren&#8217;t much better than using a Utility Knife.\u00a0 If you have large amounts of wire, you will eventually find it tedious to set up one of these little machines because of the constant toying with it to strip various wire sizes.<\/p>\n<p>After using it for a few hours your hands will soon get tired of having to pull the wire through the tiny feed wheels.\u00a0 Especially if your wire is larger than a 1\/2&#8243; in diameter.<\/p>\n<p>With these wire stripping tools, it&#8217;s like having a constant tug of war until the insulation starts to give and the Pin blade cuts a slit into the wire.\u00a0 Another factor is to firmly mount these units to the edge of your workbench otherwise it will slip when you try to pull the wire through the rollers with too much tension!<\/p>\n<p>With the amount of constant adjustment you will have to do to operate these little manual wire strippers, we highly suggest going with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluedogwirestripper.com\/manual-strippers\/bws-38-multi-feed-da.html\">Drill Power Multi Feed wire<\/a> stripping machine such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluedogwirestripper.com\/manual-strippers\/bws-38-multi-feed-da.html\">BWS-38-MF-DA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4.\u00a0 Using a Single Blade &#8211;
