It's worth calling our offices to arrange a CD collection with your next waste collection if you are a current customer. This avoids extra journeys and reduces congestion on London's busy roads and at the same time lowers emissions. CDs may never decompose if sent to landfill so it makes sense to make CD recycling an integral part of your recycling programme.

Remember, you will need to concider whether or not your items have sensitive information on them or not. If they need to be destroyed in order for your business to be compliant with The Data Protection Act, please refer to our security shredding section and then call our offices for the next steps to recycling your CDs.

How are They Recycled?

Suitable for all types of CDs and their plastic cases, including music CDs, writeable CDs and CD ROMs.
100% of the CD's and all the packaging including: paper, polycarbonate, polystyrene, paint, lacquer and aluminium is recycled. The CD material is delivered to the decollaion centre where the constituent parts are separated. Paper is baled, pulped and used in the production of cardboard. The jewel case is granulated and then fed into an extrusion system fitted with a laser filter for contaminant removal. A high quality Crystal Polystyrene pellet is produced and may be used for new cases or insulating foam.
The discs are processed in another machine and paint, aluminium and data is removed from the surface. This is used to insulate electric cables.
The clean discs are granulated, blended and compounded into a polycarbonate material. This is reused to make burgular alarm boxes or street lighting.
