[Rog]

It's been some years now since anything electrical must be supplied with a power cable.

My company supplied computerised medical equipment. Every time we bought a monitor, a printer, a computer etc, it came with a power cable. We never used any of them as we fitted our own that had to be fed from an isolation unit.

I am now clearing out my office/workshop and have hundreds, literally, of them. I'm not going to attempt to sell them, can't be arsed and no time to mess around with time wasters. So, they'll go down the dump.

"Save the planet" I hear. "Recycle" is the mantra. This is an appalling waste. Anyone want two big boxes of IEC cables ?

Stick them on ebay for a quid plus postage

Stick them on ebay for a quid plus postage 

£1 each or for the lot   

I don't have an ebay account, never used it, and really can't be arsed. I don't even want paying for them even, I just want rid of them and think it's such a waste to take them down the rubbish dump.

I'll give you a quid for the lot plus postage to mine 

All proceeds are going to my manual conversion of the mv6

If you are willing to pay for shipping on at least 40Kg of cables, they're yours for free. But by courier, I'm not hauling stuff to a post office.

Nah, stuff it. Back of the car and down the dump

Exactly.

You would cry  if you saw what I was dumping. Just taken over 10 perfectly good keyboards, some unused in packaging. I just don't have a choice

Set a table up outside your house and have a sale like we used to do as kids

Freecycle usually works well for that kind of stuff..

Joking aside, are they common cables? Might be interested...

Ordinary IEC power cables, most with UK plug, some are male to female, most 1.8 or 2mtr length various colours.

Not exactly these, but this general type

Take them to your local metal recycling place. Insulated copper cable fetches £1000 per tonne, so 40Kg should be about £40. You'll need photo ID and a recent utility bill.

[the alarming man]

you possibly will also need to strip it before they will take it and if rog hasn't time to sell them I can not see him stripping 40 kg of cable

No. My local place gives £1000+ per ton for ordinary PVC insulated cable. It's more than double that if you can be arsed to strip it.
