Can I recycle CDs?
No. Your local recycling centre or kerbside scheme won’t accept compact discs for recycling. However, there are other organisations that will recycle them for you:
Compact Discs (CDs)
Let your CDs live on after the music’s died!
Your old CDs can come in handy around the office.
What else can I do with them?
You can also donate or sell your CDs, or re-use them in a creative way.
- Donate them! Give them to a charity shop, school or jumble sale.
- Sell them! If your CDs aren’t damaged, you might want to put them back into circulation, either by trading them in at a local record dealer or on the internet.
Re-use your CDs
- CDs can be covered in felt and used as coasters.
- You can use your old CDs to deter birds from your plants by hanging them in your garden.
- Create a shiny windchime with several old CDs
