This may sound funny..but looks like a serious problem..got a lot of old cds.
I dont want many of them anymore. How should I get rid of them without causing
any harm ( environmental or..say like someone opening it; contain old data, some unwanted but a lot of email backup (dating back to 2000, 2001 etc, may be few family pics too ) What are the options?

Break em up, or scratch them really bad from the top (Not with fingernails, use a screwdriver or a blade instead). Disposal is normal as with other plastics.

I think, better to donate those CDs.
So many times I found that, so many people r there who like to work with old version of softwares (some softwares were free earlier but now those r paid).

Give them to Auto waalas and Rikshaw waalas. They'll use them for decorating their Auto-rikshaws (Three wheelers) and rikshaws. :)

One more idea. I know its crap but still. Cover the shiny side with black chart paper and then create some sort of drawings with the pointed side of a compass with care that it doesn't scratch off the plastic. Or whatever. Just cut something through a black chart paper and stick it onto the shiny surface of the CD. Even if I'm not clear, I hope you got what I want to say. :D Its a copied idea though. Its similar to colouring a page with rainbow colours, then imposing black colour over it all over the page and then using Scale/Compass to draw out things. :D

One more thing, you can also use them as a dart board. :D Even though you may not be accurate enough. :D

Is the thread dumbish or is it your reply?:rolleyes:

@windchimes: Keep 2-3 plastic bags(not the thin polythene bags), one inside the other, keep the cd inside the innermost bag, hold it from over the outermost bag and break it. That way you dont accidentally cut your hand and all the dust and tiny particles from the breaking are contained inside the bags and won't enter your lungs or get on your furniture. Use more than one bag because if you break enough cd's this way, they will easily cut through the innermost bag. Then roll up the bags, staple seal them and throw the whole thing with the trash.

If you have just 60 CDs, they won't occupy any significant space! Also, since you have some personal things like family pics, I suggest against throwing them off.

Get some bombs and put them in a box with the CDs and the put some petrol/kerosene and ignite it and shout "ITS DIWALI".
