A charity shop wouldn't be interested. Should I separate them? What bin should I put them in at the recycling centre?

Many charity shops still take and sell CDs!

Many people buy them!

Locally, both the Mind shop and the Vision shop sell CDs. Possibly others who I've forgotten. 

If memory serves, the Oxfam shop in Herne Hill does as well, though it sells them at a higher price than most charity shops.

My partner is constantly looking through charity shop CDs, and delighted when he finds music he likes!

Please don't bin them!

The CDs are not music or films and of no use to anybody, so how do I get rid of them. Can they be recycled or are they just household waste?

You can also use the CDs on a string as bird scarers on a vegetable patch or allotment!

Loads of other ideas online, eg:

It seems a waste (literally)  for them just to go into landfill.

If I didn't already have a house full of things to do, I would take them off your hands!

Maybe kids at  a nursery or primary school might be able to do something with them?

The cases can be of use to people who still have a CD collection, as so many cases break on the hinges or the bit in the middle. Charity shops may also welcome a few to replace boxes on CDs they have received. But the chances of getting rid of a lot in one place are quite slim, other than the green bin. Maybe put the best ones out on a Saturday morning to see if anyone takes any?

    • The reason why this time it feels believable that it will actually happen is that the council has at last awarded the contracts for the works to BAM Nuttall. 
    • Looking for a few (any size) paving slabs for small garden project.  Nearby to Northcross Rd.  Can collect.    thanks
    • One more while I'm here, although more of the way a word is used, and whilst possibly pedantic it really does annoy me!! "Dilemma" Constantly used to describe any tricky decision, but the definition is a decision with only two options, both of which will have an equally bad outcome.  So a choice of whether to have cake, ice cream or chocolate is NOT A DILEMMA!!! See also "Decimate", which means to reduce by 10%, not just general widespread destruction... 😖
    • So sorry to hear this, makes me so angry that some scumbag thinks they can just take someone's transport, freedom, enjoyment away, and there's so little chance of them being caught or punished adequately.  If you haven't already, register it on BikeRegister and change the status to stolen, hopefully if any responsible person considers buying it then they'll check there first.  Report it to the Police - very little chance they're able to do anything, but it's important for the stats, which may eventually provoke action by the gov? Set up search alerts on Gumtree, eBay & Facebook Marketplace, but try to be as generic as possible - often they are listed as just "road bike" rather than the exact model.  I've also printed out flyers and dropped off at local bike shops in case the bike is brought in for repairs, but not sure how worthwhile that was. Hope this helps...
