Compact Discs are notoriously difficult to recycle.  I'm a music
producer that has used over 500 CD-Rs this year alone to for mastering
purposes.  All of those discs are languishing on a shelf in my closet,
never to be used again.  A.  What can I do with these discs i.e. how
can I, an individual and not a corportation, recycle these discs? and
B. Considering the great effort and inefficiency of the CD recycling
process, is energy actually saved?  I feel squeamish throwing these
discs in the trash if the answer is yes.  Thanks.

I am located in Dallas, TX.

An art installation?

I'm with Nelson on that one - a wall in the entry to your business
premises, clad with CDs, perhaps cut in half and then half-dropped to
give lots of coverage, back or shiny side to the front to make a
pattern. Makes a statement about what you do and resuses the CDs.

make a solar furnace

make a cd pit for kids....like a ball pit....but with used cd-r's!  Sweet.

better yet....send me some of the good tunes in the mail....ill take some of the cds
