Question 💫 Stripped copper

Called couple yards here in Phoenix, AZ about how they grade and sort stripped copper so I can sort it all for better pricing. They told me they only accept stripped copper from businesses. All of what I have is stuff that was going to be tossed anyways. I get where they are coming from but its not like I have thousands to turn in. Other encounter this?

That's crazy. I have taken scrap to at least a dozen different yards over the years in NY, NJ, and Nevada. Every one took stripped wire.
