That drawer full of tangled cables? Bring the whole thing. We recycle all cables and chargers free. Always free. No appointment needed.
Do you accept cables, cords and chargers for recycling?
Yes — we take cables, cords and chargers free, working or broken, any brand and any age. Bring them to Computer Recycling LLC at 125 E 10th Ave, North Kansas City, MO 64116. No appointment, no minimum quantity, no fee. We are open Monday to Friday 8am–3pm and Saturday 8am–2pm. Pull around to the back dock, ring the bell, and our crew comes out to unload for you — most drop-offs take under five minutes. Nothing is landfilled: working gear is refurbished for reuse and the rest is broken down for material recovery through R2v3 or e-Stewards certified partners. Larger volumes can be picked up instead.
The essentials
We accept every type of cable and charger: power cords, USB (A, B, C, micro, mini), HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet (Cat5/6/7), coaxial, VGA, DVI, Lightning, Thunderbolt, audio cables, phone chargers, laptop chargers, and power adapters of all kinds.
Cables contain copper — one of the most energy-intensive metals to mine from ore. Recycling copper from cables uses 85% less energy than mining new copper. A single box of old cables can contain several pounds of recoverable copper, plus PVC insulation that should never be burned or landfilled.
Bulk copper cable (by the gaylord or pallet) has commodity value we can pay for. Individual cables and chargers are recycled free. Businesses with large volumes of cabling from office buildouts or data center decommissions should contact us.

Most people are surprised by how much valuable material is hiding inside ordinary cables. The copper core is the main prize — it is infinitely recyclable without losing quality, and recycled copper requires a fraction of the energy needed to mine and refine virgin ore. Thicker cables like power cords and Ethernet runs contain significantly more copper per foot than thin charging cables, making them especially valuable in bulk.
Beyond copper, cables yield aluminum shielding, brass connectors, and various plastics that can be pelletized and reused in manufacturing. Power adapters and charger bricks also contain small transformers, capacitors, and circuit boards with trace amounts of tin and silver. You do not need to sort, untangle, or separate your cables before dropping them off — just bring the whole box or bag and we will handle the rest. Tossing cables in household trash wastes these recoverable resources and adds unnecessary bulk to landfills.
