Recycling Compact Discs (CDs) Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs)

Can I recycle CDs and DVD's?

No. Your local recycling centre or kerbside scheme won’t accept compact discs for recycling. However, there are other organisations that will recycle them for you:

• Keymood
• Poly c. Reclaimer
• PolymerReprocessors Ltd
• Recyclingcds.com

What else can I do with them?

CD/DVD re-used in the garden

You can also donate or sell your CDs/DVDs, or re-use them in a creative way.

• Donate them! Give them to a charity shop, school or jumble sale.
• Sell them! If your CDs/DVDs aren’t damaged, you might want to put them back into circulation, either by trading them in at a local record dealer or on the internet.

Re-use your cds

• CDs/DVDs can be covered in felt and used as coasters.
• You can use your old CDs/DVDs to deter birds from your plants by hanging them in your garden.
• Create a shiny windchime with several old CDs/DVDs
