Stripping's a lot of trouble.

Burn it.

Illegal in most places and for very good reasons. *EPA requires
hazardous waste cleanup techniques at any site discovered where that
has been done.

You didn't mention the "very good reason" unless slavish obsequiousness to
EPA regulations is one.

Per the article in my local paper the other day, burning produces PCBs
and other contaminants, very black dense smoke, residue contains
hazardous metal such as lead, etc. Anyone seeing one of those fires
shouldn't need a reason as it should be obvious it ain't good for the
environment. Seems since teh price of scrap has skyrocketed they are
finding lots of these burn sites in out-of-the-way places.
