BUILD Recycling & Waste Management Awards 2022 4 Oct22523 iving in an ever increasingly digital world, many people are finding they no longer have a use for their CDs, vinyl, or DVDs. Streaming services allow access to movies, TV shows, and music, so they don’t see the point in continuing to store their CDs, vinyl, and DVDs. Compact discs no longer have any value which makes them not worth selling, so what else are you to do with them? Recycle them, of course. Why should compact discs be recycled? Well, they are harmful to the environment. By melting CDs, poisonous chemicals can be released into water supplies, threatening human life. Also it’s another thing added to the landfill pile, which pollutes the ground and soil and intoxicates the air.
