An electrician told why he never leaves the wires after work and why he takes them with him

Proper wiring in the apartment is the basis of comfort and well-being. In order to do this, electricians have to work hard. It is necessary to draw up with the owner a diagram of the location of electrical appliances, hold rods, fix cables and mount sockets and switches. Today, for this, as a rule, a wire with copper veins is used. Interestingly, his electrician trimmings are almost never left at work. And the reason here is not only in the care of cleanliness.



For the arrangement of wiring even in a small private house will have to lay out at least one hundred thousand rubles. And a large part of this amount is usually the cost of the cable.



At the same time, even the most experienced master will have croppings, which are already difficult to use somewhere. No matter how hard you try, such waste is collected from one to two buckets.



Usually, owners do not mind when electricians offer to take all the garbage with them. I’m glad you don’t have to clean up after work. And most of them do not even realize that they missed the real treasure.



Enterprising electricians burn the remnants of wires to get rid of insulation and get pure copper. From a bucket of pruning, 1-2 kg of expensive metal is obtained. Burned copper in reception points is somewhat cheaper because of the sodium, traces of enamel and varnish. But the benefits of selling it are still quite tangible.



It should only be remembered that it is possible to make fires for firing wires in order to remove the plastic shell according to Russian legislation only in specially designated places for this purpose. Article 8.2.3 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation prohibits actions with garbage that have caused harm to the environment and the health of citizens. The Environmental Protection Act sets strict rules for this.

The price will be a little lower, but you won’t have to mess with pruning and harm the environment, risking legal trouble. Mechanical cleaning takes a lot of time, but the output is more high-quality and expensive copper scrap.
