Trim the plug ends off and sell those with your cable ends. The windings I would break off and place with the appropriate metal type. Any gold colored ones I would send in for analysis for possible sale as gold pins. The rest is aluminum and can be sold to your local scrap yard.

I was referring to the windings that are on the opposite end of the read-write heads on the actuator arm. I've seen them with copper, silver, and gold color. If copper, I break them off and put in the #2 copper bucket. The silver and gold ones I set to the side.
