I did a job (renovation) in North Dakota and when I wrote the contract for the electrician I put in that all salvaged electrical cable had to be turned over to me. We ended up with a couple thousand pounds of 3 AWG to 4/0 AWG and some smaller stuff as well. We took the time to strip the insulation off of the larger stuff, but left it on the smaller stuff. It was a nice $2500 bonus after we split up the proceeds.
That's a nice haul. I'm sure a considerable amount of "extra wire" was purchased up front....just to be sure you had enough...you know? :whiste:
