Unwanted cds

Wesker

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. Over the years i have accumulated a large collection of ISP cds (mainly AOL) and now i'm having a clear out and want to get rid of them. It seems a waste just to throw them out with the rubbish. I was wondering if anyone knows of an alternative use for them i.e. recycling etc. They would be rather heavy to post tho, any ideas welcomed.

You could use them as coasters.

You could stick them to a wall-shiny side out-and make a 'funky wall'

Keep them by the front door and throw them at door-to-door salesmen

Erm,

Thats it, sorry.

Hang them up outside in garden to keep birds away. they flash in the wind :rotfl:

Girl where I used to work did homemade greetings cards with the shiny side, go to a crafts fair and ask if they will take them. Or maybe charity shops.

Send them all back to AOL

Try signing up for your local freecycle group and offer them there. A local school/nursery might be interested for craft purposes. Two glued together shiney side out with a ribbon hanger then cover with pva glue and glitter makes nice xmas deccies

I saw on another thread that they can be handy for keeping away cats who do their 'business' in your garden.....:rotfl:

I know of someone who uses them to make fancy birthday etc etc cards. They're pretty good too!

Dont put them in the trees if your garden is over looked by others!! It will annoy the neighbours too!!!! My elderly mother was suddenly in a disco in her living room after a neighbour at the rear did this...I think some complained...or perhaps the neighbours themselves where also subject to the colourful light show!!!!

Hi Wesker
Where are you
I would love to collect them for you for my pre-school but failing that, do you have a local paper that allows free ads. I am positive somebody will want them for crafts if they are free.
Also in our area, Plymouth, we have a giveaway forum on our local recyling website that allows people to 'advertise' items they are giving away. One mAns junk is anothers treasure.
Good luck

Hi scml, great to see another Plymouthian here! Do you have a link for that 'giveaway forum' by any chance?

Thanks!
