Is Cat5e cable lumped in with electrical cord scrap?

Not where I am, the scrap yard won't take it, has to go to an electronics recycler.

That's good to know. I guess regular computer cables are the same since they have that aluminum stuff inside.

It depends on your recycler.
I cut the cables from computer power supplies. and am paid for unclean copper wire at $ 1.40 a pound for it. Not bad actually.

I had another place offer me 25 cents a pound. shop around.

I have to separate it here....

Cat 5 has brought anywhere from 40-60 cents a lb

#2 wire brings anywhere from 50-90 cents a lb
