| 376570 | 2005-07-29 03:32:00 | When you have burnt, your disks, used them till youve wrecked them or out of date maybe? So weeks or months down the track you find you no longer need the info on the disk or even the disk at all. What do you do with them? are yours rewritables? do you smash, chop, burn or hiff them out? how do you dispose of your disks ? beetle |

| 376571 | 2005-07-29 03:42:00 | If theyre CDR's and I dont want them or they didnt burn properly, I cut em up and chuck them in the bin. Or shred them. I use CDR more than CDRW's. Or just keep what I want to keep on a spare partition. |

| 376573 | 2005-07-29 04:05:00 | Only use CDR's. When their time is up - backup storage superseded, etc., run them through a woodworker's bandsaw. :cool: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 376574 | 2005-07-29 04:32:00 | turn them into clocks. Buy a wall mounted clock mechanism and use the cd as the face of the newly formed clock. Generally the clock will fit in the hole in the middle of the cd. I had made three of them but threw them out a while back as the clock part broke. Labelling the hours on the face of the CD was the trickier part cos if you didnt do it right... clean and start again :mad: :) :cool: |

| 376576 | 2005-07-29 06:18:00 | Generally all mine are files that I have needed to transport, or as incremental backups or part of a full backup set. They have "value" to me in establishing an "audit trail" of the documents at that time and what they contained. I therefore store them on spindles of 50 in a fireproof safe with all other backup CDs. When the day comes that they are no longer needed (all my documents have to be kept for a period set by various Regulations anyway) or not wanted, I will probably shred them or burn them. |

| 376577 | 2005-07-29 07:02:00 | CD's are hardy creatures at times when you are trying to destroy them. I put my old CD's into two plastic bags and then cover that with a thick towel. Flexing the CD's until they snap completely into pieces sorts them out. They can shattered into heaps of tiny fragments, which is why I use the plastic bag and towel to protect the fingers. :) | Jen (38) | ||

| 376579 | 2005-07-29 08:44:00 | Drill a small hole, tie them to a piece of fishing line and hang them in my fruit trees. Very good for keeping birds away from ripening fruit. :thumbs: | smithie 38 (6684) | ||
