Vik Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 No, you could take them to the recycling centre or a charity shop though. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/359704-can-old-cds-and-cases-go-in-the-recycling-bin/#findComment-1702571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayfly Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 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!

thfc2001 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 we had a clear out of old CDs and videos a couple of weeks back - must have taken 100-150 CDs to St Christopher's on Lordship Lane - they said they would forward them on to the Penge store, which still sells them 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/359704-can-old-cds-and-cases-go-in-the-recycling-bin/#findComment-1702658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayfly Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 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?

CD Man Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 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 Edited April 3 by CD Man Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/359704-can-old-cds-and-cases-go-in-the-recycling-bin/#findComment-1702713 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: https://www.momsandcrafters.com/things-to-do-with-cds/ 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?

embracefinancial Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 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? 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/359704-can-old-cds-and-cases-go-in-the-recycling-bin/#findComment-1702722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
