Multibin: Compact DisksWhat can I do with them?
Make sure to recycle all your unwanted CDs at one of our convenient multibin locations!
We accept both working and non-working CDs. How can I reuse my old CDs?If your CD isn't severely damaged, there are chances of repairing your CD. You can purchase CD repair kits at your local electronics and music stores, or you can attempt to use mild abrasives such as toothpaste to fill in the scratches. Makes sure to only work on the non-label side of the disc. Some Creative IdeasCoasters: You can make coasters out of your old CD’s, and they make a great conversation piece. All you have to do to make a coaster is buy some cork board at your local craft store and glue it on to the painted side of your CD. You can either paint decorations on the reflective side or leave it as is! Scarecrows: Some people swear by this: hang CD’s in your garden to scare away the crows. They seem to be frightened by the glare. This might look silly but if it works, try it! Christmas Tree Decorations: Hang your CD’s outside on a tree at Christmas time, they can stand up to any weather and really catch the lights!
Christmas Decoration: CD Fish
The Disco Ball: I know you’ve always wanted a disco ball but just didn’t know where to get one or didn’t want to pay that high disco ball price. Get a large Styrofoam ball and cut your CD’s into tiny squares. Next, glue the pieces on to the Styrofoam ball, attach a string and bingo, you’ve got a disco ball. Reflectors: Nail old CD’s to your mail box post or to a 2X4 near the end of your driveway for great reflectors to mark your house for company or protect your mailbox post from passing motorists. Wall borders: CD’s make a unique wall border for a teen’s bedroom or music studio, just glue the CD’s around the room where a wallpaper border would ordinarily go. |
