  Yes.  There's a local scrapyard that pays by the pound for scrap
cable.  With insulation still on, it's not very much, but it's better
than nothing.  It's been a while, but I think it's something like 40
cents/pound.  This will doubtless vary considerably by region and
luck.

  I'll see your CAT5 and raise you CAT3, thinnet, 25-, 50-, and
100-pair telco cables, lamp cord, Twinax, serial, DECNET, and crap I
can't even identify.  The joys of working in a 100 year old building.

  FYI: 100-pair cable is frelling heavy, and difficult to cut.
