Brother. Get that shit off of your cover. Put that shit on a trailer and run it to the scrap yard. If the utility you wrecked that out from didn’t specifically ask for it back then they don’t care. I would literally pay you a 10 to run that shit to the scrap yard on the clock and split the cash with the crew.
If he's caught scrapping, he could be terminated and arrested for theft. At my job, all of our copper has to go into the scrap bins at the OpHQ. Our scrap yards report all copper to the State Police now.
That’s the part I guess you didn’t read what the man wrote. If the UTILITY DONT ASK ABOUT IT THEY DONT CARE. Do you think they are unawares ? IME not the case. I’ve run reels outta poco yards right to the scrapper.
Oh I hear ya... im still just flabbergasted that management wouldn't at least save it to line their own pockets. To just ditch a recyclable material that has excellent value is just irresponsibly stupid. Both from an economic standpoint AND from an ecological one
I work for a utility company and we have a dumpster for bare copper and one for insulated copper .. the jmen and apprentices will still throw away copper in the roll off dumpster for the landfill 🤦
If you guys hate this, our junk removal company has been forced to throw away literally millions of dollars worth of electronics from big corps. No scrap, straight to the land fill. If any of it is taken or repurposed its an instant loss of contract. They cant sell it or get any funds from it or it ruins the tax write offs.
Really sorry to do this... I need to take that off your hands for... inspection... purposes? Like I said, I am very sorry, especially this time of year and all.

This guy lineworks right here
Fuck yeah

They don't care until they do. I would make damned sure you have written permission. All it takes is one asshole to question it to the wrong person.
That’s the real per diem
If you haven't already sold them, you should check out logging and heavy equipment pages on facebook or something.
Why’s that ?
Looked like steel wire at first, might be the reason for the comment. That's all tarnished copper wire? Worth a little fortune. Congrats!
Yeah all 4/0 copper getting replaced
Oh, I'm an idiot my bad.
I thought that was steel cable, which is consumed quickly by machines that use hydraulic winches.
Wenches or winches?
Winch, and i fixed it, thanks.
However, I bet there are some folks would also pay good money for some hydraulic wenches. Probably pricier than winches though.
60 morons up voted this? You can clearly see the green
I’m a colorblind scrapper, it isn’t alway that obvious to us. Gotta carry a file and a magnet
Green? But I thought copper was almost an orange color?
The Statue of Liberty has a steel frame, but the shell is copper.
Copper turns green when it oxidizes
Damn! That's going to be some cha-ching!
HTF does someone miss that is copper?
Linemen get fired for scrapping
That’s horrible…. Companies can be frustrating to say the least… they’re to lazy/unconcerned ect to do it then want to punish those that want to save the landfills and get a bonus for doing it 😩
Hells yeah brother, that's a lick.
A lick lol. Haven't heard or used that word in a hot minute. That it is, though!
Where is that again? Damn.
And you won't allowed to snag any of it? r/mildlyinfuriating !
No fucking way....that cant be what's happening here!!! Is it!?!? I cant imagine ANY boss/foreman would be that stupid, would they!?!?
If this is the case, im fuckin devastated....like...real tears. Lol.
Thats a small fortune. Gotta be in 4 digit territory, right?
Some companies are strict an no one can touch anything they are forced to throw away an others get opportunity before they get off work.
Oh I hear ya... im still just flabbergasted that management wouldn't at least save it to line their own pockets. To just ditch a recyclable material that has excellent value is just irresponsibly stupid. Both from an economic standpoint AND from an ecological one
Agreed should be a crime to dump. But some people are by the book it’s crazy
Welcome to capitalismÂ
Probably close. What’s even worse is that was only half of it lol
So you're telling me that this is legit going into.the landfill!?!? That's just fiscally irresponsible of wtvr company you work for!!!
I reeeeeeally hope youre figuring out a way to.liberate as much of it as you can
Totally irresponsible. Usually I cut out the middle man and drive it all there personally
Offer to take it to the "dump" yourself. Stop for fuel on the way back, and show the boss the fuel receipt, and say "This is what it cost.".
What do they do with it ? Actually trash it !?!?
I work for a utility company and we have a dumpster for bare copper and one for insulated copper .. the jmen and apprentices will still throw away copper in the roll off dumpster for the landfill 🤦
I would say that's r/majorlyinfuriating (I think that's the name of the sub)
Majorly!?!?! More like r/rageinducinglyinfuriating lol
Nice haul!

So ugh, what dumpster is that going in. Damn.
Its probably a scrap dumpster the contractor gets paid when the scrapyard picks up the bin. Thereby making it illegal to take.
Is that not CCS?
No 4/0

What was the address and reason again?
=)
Enjoy
Holy moly!!!! What a score. Hard to believe that am was tossed out as garbage!
Was it coiled up that nicely when you got it?
No we coiled it up on a butterfly
I’m volunteering every time to run the dump load for sure
That statue of liberty green is where it's at.
Hang onto them in case copper prices boom too.
I’ll never understand how so many companies have no desire to have any corperative responsibility. It’s disgusting.
Nice score
.
Were you able to take any? What an incredible haul? Either to resell or for personal use. That is insane!!
Wow
aluminium wires
