Recycling CDs
Posted: Wed Jan 08, 2025 4:20 pm
Doing a bit of clearing out and always loathe to just bin stuff. Reduce, re-use, recycle and all that.
I'm fully aware that you can try your luck selling or donating music CDs with sundry organisations and most of my cursory internet searching is very much focused on this. However, that doesn't help with:
1. Music that is so worthless no one wants it e.g. the Dumpstaphunk CD that came free with a New Orleans blues compilation or old compilations I burnt myself, mainly with crap quality downloads from Kazaa or Limewire in the early to mid 00s.
2. The myriad extant software installation CDs that have accumulated over the years.
Cases are easy to do, they're often hard enough plastic or cardboard that can go in the recycling bin, but the discs themselves are a bit of a chin-scratcher.
