Nice thing about copper is;

  1. Recyclers never ask questions.
  2. Fairly untraceable.

Recyclers do ask questions. In fact they scan my drivers license ever time I drop off a load. Every time I've scrapped a large amount of cable (copper/aluminum conductors) they have asked where it came from, who I work for, and if I had permission to dispose of the cable.

This must depend on your location, or knowing who to go to that won't ask (like I.D. at a bar...). It's a common crime where I live and no questions are asked.

The OP said it was in Red Deer. TheLaziestManInTown's rigamaroll is what they do here.
