You can take the scrap

Yeahhhhhhhh AND quite a lot of it too... SOME people think gold is better, but it's kind of scarce and it's pricey - great for some things though such as gold plated welding lenses and space helmets.... but although copper does tarnish - I think it's a much nicer metal to make many things from.

It looks really nice when it's polished up too.

Plain clean deoxidised copper is a reddish pink, polished up, it's shiny reddish.... and oxidised it's greenish - mostly - depending upon what is corroding it.

Look up the prices for clean scrap copper in your area - per kilo / ton...

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: if that is as much scrap copper as i think it is, they have a few million worth there... at a very vague guess, to do proper calculations would have to know how many tons of copper they have there. still a huge pay-day.

@sbseed: Send the video in an email and ask the local scrap merchants / proper recyclers, how much copper do they think is in the dumpster, and what is it worth and there are people who can look at shit and tell you within a kilo how much is in there..... just by eye.... and average the prices out....
