CD recycling is FREE and easy (you just pay the postage). We don’t pick up your CDs with the rest of your recycling; instead you post them or drop them off directly at the recycling yard. We accept any amount of CDs from businesses (even if you aren’t a customer) and households - read on…
- Get all your old CDs, DVDs, CDRs, together (the plastic cases and inlay cards are fine too) (but no floppy disks. Although did you know that South Africans apparently call them ’stiffies’ - How rude).
- Put them in a box or a sturdy envelope.
- If you can write the weight of the package on there too we will love you very much.
- Take them to the post office and post them to:

What happens to your CDs?
As anyone who’s ever tried to break a CD in a fit of rage will know, they’re verging on indestructable, which means left unchecked they’ll sit in landfill sites forever. However, CDs and the like can be recycled, through the extraction of the polycarbonate and aluminimum content for the use in the manufacture of new components using hard plastics and metals. Sounds important, and it is.
Printer Cartridge Recycling
If you ask them nicely Osman, the stationers in Wardour Street, will recycle your printer cartridges too, and they give the proceeds to charity, for more information click on
