I tried to recycle the skid of cables at Gertrude today. They will not
accept the ribbon cables because the recoverable copper is less than 30% of
the weight which appears to be a new policy. Someone there estimated the
ribbon cable has about 20% recoverable copper by weight. 

So we need to separate (and trash) the ribbon cables from the rest of the
wire and try again. I'll move the skid to our warehouse tonight using an
RBHS forklift.
