Where can you sell Wire Harness scrap?

Wire Harness scrap is accepted by all scrap yards in general. It could be sold as-is. However, the heavy plastic covering may lead to low price quotes by the yards. An alternative way to earn more from these scrap is to strip these wires, by removing the plastic covering. The removal of plastic insulation would allow for recovery of copper. Though the process of stripping may take time and effort, the wires may probably fetch bare bright prices.
