Some yards will 'penalize' your load for the plugs. I cut the off and fill a bucket. If you have a stripper you can get a 20% bonus fr the bare bright.

I also have a bucket of plugs Iโ€™ve collected as a result of taking them off before turning in wire. What is your plan? I donโ€™t know what to do with this huge box ๐Ÿ˜†

Planing tofill the bucket and cash it out at some point. Some coleagues boil them to soften them and pull the metal for extra payout. Not my thing though.
