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?

    • Hello, I have seen several reviews written about Piplings Nursery from a number of years ago now. I would be keen to hear from any parents who have dealt with them more recently as we are interested in sending our son there.  Many thanks!
    • I wondered if anyone has tried an N Family nursery, particularly the new East Dulwich one but interested in reviews more generally? What are your experiences? 
    • My last paragraph was relevant. I was in central London having a meal with family on the same day as the recent large right wing march. The date of the  meal was arranged before it was known about the march, and the venue was convenient for one of my brothers and his partner, who had travelled down from the midlands and had a hotel and theatre tickets booked near the venue. It was just up the road from Trafalgar Square, and my partner and I were seriously concerned on the way there and the way back that we would encounter violent people from the march. Luckily we were able to avoid this, but as I expect you will have read, several police officers were injured, and a friend of mine was amongst a group of counter protesters who were hemmed in by marchers for hours, which was obviously very frightening. The group had to be protected by police before they were finally able to get a safe passage out. Therefore, I don't think my last paragraph was unnecessary at all in the context of when I personally feel unsafe in London. I am not "going through a bad patch", beansprout, not am I "having a bad day ". Nor do I need to "get things off my chest". I am interested to know how you think I have "totally changed my tune"? Could you give some examples from before and after I "changed my tune"? Perhaps you would like to come and discuss your opinion of me face to face? I am very easy to find. I run gigs and Singarounds locally with my lovely partner, and we have organised two Forum Drinks, with a break over the summer.  We will be organising an October meet up soon, so perhaps you would like to come to that, if music isn't your thing? You could take the opportunity to meet some other forum posters as well
