    I mean cables are indeed very valuable in just scrap.

    My dad worked in IT and we had a 50 gallon drum full of all kinds of cables. Not only did we always have the type of cable we needed but if I ever needed $100 in an emergency I’d just fill a box and head to the local scrapyard.

    You’ll get even more money if you remove the insulation first.

      How big was this box you were filling?

            You should be able to search your local scrapyard and find the price by weight online.

              All I’ve ever found are places advertising that they don’t charge for e-waste, which is why I asked.

                Apologies friend. I can’t tell you where your local scrapyard is or if there’s even one close to you.

                I live in a small-ish town and our local scrapyard is right off one of the main roads through town.

                  I didn’t ask about my scrapyard, I asked about yours.
