7 Green Ways To Get Rid Of Unwanted DVDs

1. Online Buy Back
Bre Software has an online buy back system. They offer a whopping 12 cents for Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever.

BuyBack Madness is another online DVD buyback site. They won't take Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, but they do pay a bit more for good movies than Bre.

2. Sell your DVDs yourself
You can list them on Ebay or sell them on Craigslist for whatever you think you can get for them.

Goofy article, has no suggestions for disposing of scratched or otherwise useless disks.

Put them in picture frames. When the light hits them, they are beautiful and the scratches
don't really show. THEN sell them on eBay

I burn DVDs for backup and I have grocery bags full of old ones, if you want to wallpaper your house with them, feel free to come pick them up.

I made a 'screen' for my fence by tying cds to ten 8' lengths of small gauge wire and attached to the stockade fence in the backyard..it looks really cool...they move a little in the wind and when the sun hits them, they reflect the light.
My sister makes stained glass mobiles and uses a cd at the top to attach all the strings. They are very versatile...just use your imagination.

There are nasty chemicals in CDs and DVDs that are leached out of the plastic by acid rain, they end up in the soil under your decorative displays.

The rain in the eastern US is more acidic than orange juice, it dissolves stuff away faster than you might think.

Nothing wrong with donating them to your local library or thrift store either.
