Jacketed copper scrap is getting pretty good prices right now. Take
it to a "secondary metals" company (eg..scrap yard) as is.

Here in Ontario it is illegal to burn the jacket off the wire, and
illegal for the scrap dealer to by wire that has had the jacket burned
off.

Take care.

IE, it is not easy to do by hand.

I have heard of electricians after a big job getting an old box springs &
putting all the wire drops on top of the box springs. Light 'er up.
Plenty of fumes and plumes of fire and smoke. Do it in the country with
fire extinguishers on hand.
