How to dispose of Appliance Cords & Power Cables in New York

New York rules

Cords and cables accepted at SAFE Disposal events and e-waste drop-offs.

Unplug detachable cords. Do not cut hardwired cables or dismantle an appliance; have a qualified person isolate wiring and ask the recycler whether cords should remain attached.
Bundle cords together with a zip tie or rubber band.
Take to a scrap metal recycler — copper wire has value.
