I want to divest boxes and boxes of old CDs, what do folks recommend? Hate the thought of them sitting in a landfill, and can’t otherwise recycle! What are folks doing with their collections?
Thanks! |

| Donate to library or ask librarians to research where they can be donated. |

| Trash. No one wants these, including libraries. |

| Yea, nobody wants them. It’s sucks. Old records, yes. CDs, no. |

Assume you mean music CDs and not your own recordings or media copied onto CDs?
I’m an avid gardener and have noticed that some of my neighbors hang CDs to scare off deer - the reflective surface glare bothers feet and the movement scares birds away. You could donate to a thrift store- a larger one like Salvation Army or Goodwill or Unique. Great question and I can research this for you. I recycle everything I possibly can; batteries, empty pill bottles, socks… |

| If they are music CDs, donate to the thrift store. People like me are buying them! |

Trash
Putting things that have already been produced in landfills* is the least of our environmental concerns. *This is largely true in the US. Numerous countries manage their trash terribly and it does end up in the ocean. |

how do you recycle pill bottles? (Assuming not just recycle bin at home or?) |

| Wholeheartedly agree with donating them to a library that holds periodic book sales. Ours sells them for $1, and plenty of people still collect them. |

| Years ago I worked at a production company and we recycled our CDs. We had a special bin for them, unfortunately I don't know what the deal is now. |
