The alternative use of CD's
In response to my last post a friend forwarded me the following:
Hi Friends
Our 6 new chicks are growing fast. They are outgrowing the large cardboard box they've been living in.
Finishing touches are being made on their groovy chicken house that will grace our backyard. It's made out of wood recycled from other old projects. Remember, the knotty pine paneling in our old basement? In contemplating an appropriate roof, Matt and I have decided that cds would make a fitting waterproof material. So we are in search of
250 unwanted cds. Could you please help our chickies stay dry this winter by donating cds you no longer need?
Thank you so much!
Wilma and Family
We are not quite ready to give up our collection but if you have any CD's for Wilma, please let me know and I will get you in touch (that is if you are in the Berkely area, of course..)

you may want to contact these groups to see if they can sell you unusable cd's in bulk.
Recordable CD-Rs each have 20mg of gold that can be recovered so reprocessors remove the data layer and reuse the plastic disc. If you are worried about proprietary data, you can cut them in half.
To recycle CDs and DVDs, send them prepaid by UPS Ground, third-class mail, freight or other surface transportation to:
