Copper is worth something. Last year, here in MD, ther ewas a racket where theives would steal copper wire from live deployment, and sell it to the recyclers, at a clear profit. It was valuable enough some people were willing to go risk getting caught and going to jail, to recycle it.
A cabler friend of ours, kept a stockpile from their de-isntallation. Then every 3 months or so, they'd bring to recycle, and give all the profit to the employees, eitehr as a bonus, or to fund the booze for the next company party.
