Where Can I Recycle......CDs & DVDs?

Many of us have old CDs, CD-ROMs and DVDs hanging around that we no longer want. So what can we do with them?

If they are in perfectly good condition they should ideally be passed on to someone who can use them.

Give them to friends or family or swap them rather than buying something new to replace them. You could sell them on eBay, Amazon.co.uk, at a car boot sale or advertise them in your local paper. If that doesn't work, give them to your local charity shop or to a jumble sale in aid of a local organisation.

You could also try MusicMagpie, who turn your old and unwanted CDs into cash in one free and simple process. Your CDs could be worth anything from 25 pence up to £3 and you can check their potential value on their website.

Now you are asking, what about the free CDs and DVDs that you find in newspapers and magazines? Well, firstly check if there is someone who you could give them to. It is not really worth giving these freebies to a charity shop; most won't sell them. At best they will be distributed to the shop staff and volunteers. Otherwise they just go in the bin and off to landfill anyway.

If you have free CDs and DVDs or damaged discs what else can you do with them then?
