HIDDEN TREASURE Transform copper into cash by recycling the cords
off your used ESU grounding pads.
RECYCLING
Turn ESU Copper Cords into Cash
Rather than throwing our disposable ESU grounding pads away, we cut the copper cords off of them and save the copper in a big cardboard box. When the box is full in a month or 2, we
take it to a local recycling facility and they pay us by weight. Last time we got $87. That may not sound like a fortune, but it's enough for a couple of pizza parties, and those make everybody happy.
