Just had some work done around the house and the benefit is a surplus of copper tubing.
What do you you guys do with copper tubing? How do you store it, or do you sell it and where. I guess I have about 75 fit of pipe, not think enough to store a cent in.
It seems a bit unwieldy and I would have to cut it into segments to store it neatly (space is aways an issue).
What do you think?

Scrap it. If no welds or anything it is #1. Good money there.
Deal |
Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

If it's in good shape, the pipe when used as pipe is worth much more than you would see in the scrap price now or in the future. With the quantity you are talking about, it literally takes up no space. If you have exposed floor joists in your basement, you could slide it up there. Out of sight, out of mind (untill you need it). While it would be better than a sharp stick in the eye, you aren't going to get rich off the scrap price when figured at todays prices, as you aren't looking at a huge amount of weight.

I recently had about 48 ft. of piping and 100's of feet of mixed sized tubing. i asked a plumber i know and he didn't want it, not even at scrap prices

It would take 5 minutes to chop it and store it!
Or
Sell it to a yard ( Yellow Pages: Scrap )
Or
Set it out front and pay it forward ( That little Bit of metal would feed a family ) |
