somebody cut the ends off some power supplies... knowing i recycle some stuff and said "can you recycle this?" I normally leave them connected to the power supply but now I have a good tangle of wires so I stripped the end off one... not copper. Is it aluminum wiring?

No, it's tinned copper. Don't bother trying to strip it, it's not worth the time. Sell it as insulated #2 copper.

I put the stuff like that in a 55gal and take it when it is full. My yard will take it with the ends.
