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!

Hello everyone 

I have just noticed this post on the forum. If anyone out there has any old CD’s that they wish to part with, I would be happy to take them from you (East Dulwich/Camberwell). 
😀
Kind regards

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?

    • Surprised at how many people take the 'oooh it's great it got approved, something is better than nothing' view. This is exactly Southwark council's approach, pandering to greedy developers for the absolute bare minimum of social and affordable housing. It's exactly why, under their leadership, only a fraction of social and affordable housing has been built in the borough - weirdly Mccash chose to highlight their own failures in his 'near unprecedented' (yet unbiased 😆) submission. All the objectors i have met support redevelopment, to benefit those in need of homes and the community - not change it forever. The council could and should be bolder, demand twice the social and affordable housing in these schemes, and not concede to 8 storeys of unneeded student bedsits. If it is a question of viability, publically disclose the business plan to prove how impossible it might be to turn a profit. Once the thing is built these sites can never be used for social or affordable housing. The council blows every opportunity, every time. Its pathetic. Developers admitted the scale was, in this instance, not required for viability. The student movements data seemed completely made up. The claim that 'students are taking up private rentals' was backed up with no data. There is empty student housing on denmark hill, needs to be fixed up but it's there already built. The council allows developers years to build cosy relationships with planners such that the final decision is a formality - substantiated objections are dismissed with wooly words and BS. Key meetings and consultations are scheduled deliberately to garner minimal engagement or objection. Local councillors, who we fund, ignore their constituents concerns. Those councillors that dare waiver in the predetermination are slapped down. Not very democratic. They've removed management and accountability by having no nomination agreement with any of the 'many london universities needing accommodation' - these direct lets MAKE MORE MONEY. A privately run firm will supposedly ensure everyone that those living there is actually a student and adheres to any conduct guidelines. There's no separation to residents - especially to ones on their own development. Could go on... We'll see how many of the 53 social/affordable units that we're all so happy to have approved actually get built.
