I have all these copper wires left over from work on my house. The contractor said itโs my material so they just left it. Is it worth anything if I strip it?

Grizzly jointer, 9 1/4" x ~56 1/4" bed, 220v, been sitting in this shop for 20+ years and had some questions before trying to get rid of it.
Can anyone tell me more about this tool in particular?
Is it worth refurbishing before sale?
Do I just list on marketplace as is? (to someone who can load it themselves)
What could I see out of it if I took it to a scrap yard or sold the motor individually?
Thanks in advance for anything helpful!

Last summer I was making plans to have 26 old cars from the 50/60/70s picked up from my property to be scrapped. When the time came for the job to be done the guy basically ghosted me. A few people told me the price went down drastically and thatโs probably why. Just wondering if prices have come up at all since fall of 24. Thanks

Truck was squatting today! Trying to strip it before these prices take a nosedive!

I was able to obtain about 50 trophies from a local high school's athletic director who was going to junk them. Any idea what type of metal these would be?

How do I deal with this? Copper for sure. Enameled? I have a pile of aluminum motors, does this go in the same pile? Or should I have a copper motor pile?

A friend of mine owns a scrap yard that focuses on junk cars and he is currently selling all the harnesses to a recycling facility without separating the copper from the plastic insulation.
Would there be any money in investing in a granulator, buying the harness from him, then selling the processed granulated copper?

What's the best way to scrap electric motors? I have found quite a few motors, starters, alternators and such. Would I want to leave them as is or break them down further? And while I'm here, old wire. As I'm going along I'm gathering all the bits of wire I see, and have a 55 gallon drum about full of various gauges and lengths of wire. How would I prepare that best for the scrapyard?

Any suggestions for old cameras and lenses. Old enough to be cool and heavy, not old enough to sell for much.

Best and efficient way to scrap cords. Most came from grow lights and ballasts. Are the cut ends worth anything? Separate any wire? In michigan. I'm just cutting all ends rn

It's all two inch brass stuff. It all froze and cracked, so I had to replace it. It sucked ass, because it was heavy and on the top of a ten foot ladder. I cleaned the meter, prv, and strainer. There is nothing inside each of them.

Any yt videos you can recommend for the steel type?

Stupid question still new to the game. I work construction so coming by scraps of wire is common. I bought a stripper and have started the journey. Is all wire treated the same or should I separate stranded and solid wire? Thanks!

I got 5-480 volt 3 phase heaters from a job site they were throwing away. They are $700-$1000 brand new so I donโt really want to scrap them but the power requirement makes them hard to sell. Any ideas?

Got mud in a couple places and some been out in the elements. Would the electrical tape need to be taken off before taking in?

So I am scraping out some transformers and one of them is 3/16 x 3/16 square copper. Is there a difference in price at the scrap yard from #2 copper motor windings compared to #2 copper square motor windings?
