We took ours to a metal recycler. They were mildly happy to take all but the ends. We had to remove the ends. There is a lot of plastic in those cables which the recycler has to strip. You only get paid for the metal.
By the way, you may need proof that you are the owner of the cables as there have been lots of people stealing metals for the cash. Several communities and police departments are cracking down on the recyclers. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Duerbusch Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 4:25 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Recycling Bus and Tag cables We are cutting up a bunch of old bus and tag cables that have been under the machine room floor in order to pull them out a little more easily. The blue ones don't seem to be made of copper. Lots of plastic and a little aluminum. When others have dumped their old bus and tag cables, what did you do with them? Did any recycling business care to take them? Is there any type of "green" initiative, that might dispose of them in a "earth friendly" manor?
