Where and how can one recycle plastic-coated copper cables? Every household must have dozens of old cables etc that it doesn't use any more.

I agree, the best place is the nearest scrap dealer. 

There are prices for scrap on letsrecycle.com http://www.letsrecycle.com/materials/metals/nonFerrousGrades.jsp

Scrap merchants 

The local scrap merchant will recycle cable - to get hold of the copper. Unfortunately, they are unlikely to be interested in the odd cable from households.
