Cable Recycling in Kochi
Old cables, chargers and adapters accumulate quickly in homes and offices. Here is how to recycle them in Kochi, including sorting tips and what affects their scrap value.
Quick answer
Old cables, chargers and adapters can be recycled in Kochi as part of any e-waste pickup — no need to sort every wire by type. Bundle them loosely, separate anything damaged, and mention the approximate quantity when you book; larger volumes of copper-rich cords may carry modest scrap value.
- Cables don't need to be sorted meticulously — just bundled loosely.
- Copper-rich power cords generally carry more value than thin signal cables.
- Damaged or frayed cables should be flagged, not hidden in the bundle.
- Cables can be included in any mixed e-waste pickup, no separate visit needed.
What cables and accessories are accepted?
- Power cords and extension cords
- USB cables (micro, type-C, lightning)
- Network and ethernet cables
- Chargers and power adapters
- Audio and video cables (HDMI, RCA, aux)
- Old phone and device chargers
Sorting cables before pickup
While you do not need to sort every cable by type, a little organisation helps:
- Bundle cables loosely with rubber bands or cable ties — no need to wrap tightly
- Keep chargers and adapters together with their cables if possible
- Separate damaged or frayed cables so they can be flagged
- If you have a large quantity, separate power cords from thin signal cables
What affects cable value?
Cables typically have modest scrap value, but some factors can increase it:
- Copper content — thicker power cords contain more copper and have higher value
- Quantity — larger volumes of bundled cables are easier to process
- Condition — intact cables with undamaged connectors are preferred
- Type — network and specialty cables may have different material composition
How to include cables in a mixed e-waste pickup
Cables can be included with any other e-waste pickup. Simply bundle them together and mention them when you send your item list. If you have a large quantity of cables separate from other electronics, let us know so we can plan the pickup accordingly.
