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?

    • 🤣  After a horrible very long day at work I came home..read this post and laughed out loud....thank you! We made the error of visiting the one in Dulwich just after it opened...you missed nothing. I dont mind paying a bit more for something decent but honestly it was one of the most underwhelming badly cooked meals I've eaten,  with an accompnayment of awful muzak and dire dire service . really overpriced too I agree.
    • But you started this thread back in 2023 James! You must have known this site would be going ahead? Now you’re saying 12-18 months. 
    • Such developments typically have 6-18months resolving all the conditions imposed on the approve scheme. While this going on they'll be lining up the constructions contractors, project management, etc. I'd guess 12-18months time. 
    • this makes me realise how the world has changed...in the 90's I lived in Chelsea which you'd assume was a pretty safe neighbourhood..One night someone stole my beautiful and heavy  (they were made of stone or concrete) fully planted windowboxes from my windowsills..I lived in a raised ground floor flat with a pretty steep drop to the basement, They must have climbed over the railings on the stairs and onto the sill then passed them to an accomplice..Impossible to do this solo. They also stole a beautiful stone owl that I had on the sill. I reported the theft to the police-this was the days before ring doorbells etc-they came filed a report and description of the stolen goods AND I got a letter and phone call from victims support!
