Well.. I'm every so slowly unpacking all my old cdrs and dvdrs, and I started tossing out a bunch of them. Bunches as in hundreds. Does anyone know of a place to recycle them?

I would think you could just throw 'em in the recycling bin with the other plastics and stuff. Polycarbonate is recyclable, neh??

Hard to say, since not all plastic are recyclable. Only ones that you can're type 1 and 2. You know those plastic screw caps on bottles? Well, those can't be recycled.

Yeah, I noticed the recycling guy always unscrews those thingies and tosses 'em... Odd that they would make the container recyclable and not the cap... *scratches head*

A lot of the stuff I'm getting rid of're old stuff I downloaded from ABPEA and ABMEA. Would be a shame to just chunk them in the trash, since most of the stuff you can't find easily.

Why don't you hang onto 'em then? You can be the Fred Sanford of CDs/VCDs/DVDs

Already backed them onto dvdr. don't need them to be taking up more room than they need to.

ditto for me

Right now I got my bottle of water sitting on a prodisc coaster

Oh and speaking of which, this might be off topic but I got my first "official" dvd bad burn the other day. When I say official I mean that it's the first time the drive messed up and not cause nero crashed or I was doing something in the background. So that's roughly 1 bad DVD in my first 900 burns. Not a bad ratio if I must say so myself though

Thats is a pretty damn good ratio, a .001 chance of failure using a prodisc dvd in the 107 drive...

Not bad at all... I'm still perfect: 20 burns, no coasters.

there a a shredder in the market now that shreds cd-r's as well. (i wish i can remember what maker it was tho...)

If you check the bottom of the disc, thre was probably a spec of dust or fingerprints that distrubed the laser. That what usually happens to all my coasters. Good thing about prodisc is that you can usually RMA them. Atleast that's what I do.

you still got a 100% successful burning chance then!

@buruburu: Wait, you mean I could even return this defective DVD and get my money back!??!?! Wow! Well just 1 in 800 so it's all good

well.. depends on where you buy your discs. From where I buy mine from, I just send it back to them, and they send me replacements.
