Keep an eye out as people start to decorate for Christmas, lots of good stuff to be found! Fake trees can go in with the steel, and lots of strands of broken lights, cut the bulbs off and they will be #2 insulated wire.

If the wire on the lights are thick,I strip it for the copper. Every little bit counts! :)
