Sell it. Scrap metal prices are up right now. Scrounge up all the iron and steel you don't want or need and head for the nearest scrap dealer maybe you you can swap it out for something weldable or sell it.

1/2 inch cable here is handy to have to get vehicles out of ditches, from over embankments, etc., good for pulling trees out of the woods, all the stuff you use cable for anyway. If you don't have use for it, trade it for something of value to you.
