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.
