Short answer: Make arrangements with the businesses and people who produce copper offcuts, such as plumbers, electricians, builders and renovators, collect on a set schedule, keep to a clear agreement about what you take and how you pay, and treat each source fairly, because a regular supply depends on relationships and reliability more than on finding a one-off windfall.
