There is an elderly lady in our church who needed help yesterday cleaning out her basement. My son isn't currently employed so my wife took him over to help. He began taking old wire out of the basement and putting it on the neighbors truck for him to haul to the dump.

Fortunately, my wife had the good sense to call me. It was two 30 gallon trash cans overflowing with romex copper wire!!

You could fly to Rome with that much Romex. Ok, not exactly, but it sounded good.
