Nah, do nothing, like you.

His point is valid. Burning the gas to take it to the scrap yard will
produce more polutants and use up more resources than the copper will
produce.

My method. I keep a barrel and add to it. I currently have a 50 gal
barrel full and overflowing with copper wire, fuel line, etc. that has
accumulated over the past 30 years. Someday when I am going that way,
it will be on the PU with me (100 mile round-trip).
