Used CD’s
Here is the big question. What do you do with a hundred used recordable CD’s? Actually I just gave probably 40-50 CD’s to a friend with some scanned material on it (of material out of copyright, or with the copyright holder’s permission of course)
Election
I know I have mentioned our local by-election. Latham resigned, and Ingleburn is the centre of the electorate. It is so much a safe seat that the Liberal Party are not even contesting it.
But by some strange coincidence, Ingleburn is having their festival that day, so everyone will have an excuse to participate in the event. Should make an interesting story on TV. Celebrations and Street Parties for an election. I can see the headlines now… “Ingleburn Celebrates a labour win” regardless of if the people who are celebrating and there for the fireworks even voted.
Garage
The garage is tidier… Just before writing this entry I was sweeping the floor of the garage. I can see the floor which is fantastic. More rubbish to throw out, and more stuff to recycle. It certainly helps when friends take bits of rubbish away for me. It also lets me feel less guilty about throwing out stuff which may not have been cheap when it was purchased.
I put used CD’s in the shred/burn basket and wait for the next roaring fire in the fireplace. Over the course of an hour, with a good hot wood fire, I dispose of the paperwork that’s too sensitive to recycle and any CDs that need to be disposed of like you’re describing. With a good, hot, roaring fire, CDs don’t make much smoke or mess and they are, of course, thoroughly destroyed.
