I am tired of the pile of wire, mostly 12 Ga NM-B, that has accumulated in my truck. While it is nice to be able to grab a short length and use it for pigtails etc I am thinking it may not be worth the hassle and mess. I called to get scrap pricing and unstripped wire was only about 1/3 the value per pound vs stripped.

I would like to save the resource by recycling but wonder if it is worth it. Does anyone else bother with the smaller gauge wires like this? What about AL SE cable?
