Hello,

I know some recycling sites have a special bin for CD-ROM discs but I'm not using my car/fuel to drive to a recycling site just to throw away 30 old CD-ROM discs.

Can they can thrown in a bin at home?

No, they need to be de-contaminated in a purpose-built facility, before disposal. I believe there's one in Scotland, somewhere.


I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
