Reuse

CD’s and DVD’s to be reused if you:

  • donate them (in good condition) to a charity shop where they can be resold.
  • sell or donate any unwanted CD’s, DVD’s and electronics plus much more for free through Music Magpie.

Recycle

CDs and DVDs are not accepted for recycling in clear recycling sacks or mixed recycling banks.

If you want to recycle them you can take them to the CD and DVD bank at the Smugglers Way Household Waste and Recycling Centre, Wandsworth, SW18.

Valuable CD’s (one’s that can be used again/good condition) can be placed in the CD’s and DVD banks  – keep them in their plastic covers.

If they are not valuable (e.g. CD’s offering instructions for out-of-date software, damaged CD’s) then the CD should be removed and placed in the Rubbish Only container (as they cannot be recycled).  The plastic cover can be put in the Rigid plastics container (which can be recycled).
