The recycler here ships the insulated wire in bulk to China where it
is hand stripped by slaves working for a bowl of rice per day. Ditto
for shot electric motors, "dirty" brass and the like. It's worth taking
if you are going to that part of town anyway. There are a couple of
Mexican scrap dealers here (southwestern U.S.) who will haul it away
for free, to just be rid of it with little hassle. If it is in good
shape, see if there is a local appliance repair or independant
electrician that can use it as is, trade for money or repairs.-Jitney
