    Label and bind cables, throw them into a big plastic bin with lid, label the lid with contents. Repeat as necessary.

      Once every few years, take them out and test them with appliance. If it’s a USB cable, put it into three categories:

      • Dead
      • Charges
      • Charges + Data

      Keep the dead ones. They are very strong cables you can use to tie things together.

      • Need to hang a picture? Dead cable.
      • Need to pool some plastic bags together? Dead cable
      • Want to read a good comic book? Deadpool and Cable
