CD/DVD - Commercially Made - Working

A CD or DVD is a hard, rigid plastic disc that stores data.

Few thrift organizations accept these materials unless they are in new-like condition. Consider posting to FreeCycle, Craigslist, NextDoor, or such for reuse. There are very limited recycling options for this material. Consider reuse before disposal.
