http://www.greendisk.com/ for disk recycling. I use them often, but am not affiliated with them.

If you can't find anyone who wants a perfectly cromulent printer, find a way to recycle it. I used to use Greendisk, but now my town holds semi-annual electronics recycling. If your locality doesn't, bug them about it...it's much more practical to recycle in bulk, and you'd be doing a really good deed if you could get it implemented.

It's a box for any electronic trash that has all the recycling and shipping fees included in its purchase price. Total price is $30 for a 35lbs capacity box, or $40 for a 70lbs capacity one. Or you can get bundles and give them away as gifts to everyone. You can throw anything from CDs to videotapes to laptops to cell phones in there. When it's full, you close it up and ship it (for "free").

We generate a LOT of CD and tech waste where I work, so we looked into this. Turns out there is a company that recycles all that sort of junk called GreenDisk, so I get a technotrash can every 3 months or so. Basically you pay $40 for a box that they send you, you load it up with up to 70 pounds of tech-junk, and then you send it back via USPS. They pay shipping on the way back (but I think you really pay it up front when you give them the $40 :-P).

at http://www.greendisk.com/Greendisk. $5.95 for up to 20 pounds plus shipping in the U.S. (Try "media mail" from the USPS for discounted rates.)

GreenDisk will take them, but apparently charge a fee.

Other companies (scroll down) seem to do this for free, but you have to pay for shipping the discs.

3. Pack your disks, CDs and videotapes in a shipping carton.

5. Weigh the package(s) and calculate your cost for recycling as follows:

I was a half-assed recycler when I lived in an area with curbside pickup or recycle pickup at an apartment, but in Plainfield, Indiana my apartment doesn't have recycle bins. After a few months of throwing away my plastics and aluminum I felt a little guilty and investigated recycling. The nearest recycling dropoff is 15 miles away. Screw 'em, I'm tossing them until it's more convenient.

Here is a description of recycling pressed CDs, but it says this process is patented. I recall reading somewhere that CDR's and CDRW's data layers cannot be recycled, but they chip up the discs and the data layer flakes or otherwise separates, but I can't find a link to that info right now. (Too lazy.)

My "dvd recycle | recycling" Google search (without quotes) brought FlexPlays link up as the first listing and nothing that looks like a process on page one.

Send them to GreenDisk for recycling.

Our town recycles CDs, and you can, too, through greendisk.com.
