CD and DVD Recycling
When compact discs are placed in the trash, it is harmful to the environment. That is why Disc, Inc. is proud to partner with the Compact Disc Recycling Center to help reduce this environmental impact. Proper recycling will stop unnecessary pollution, conserve natural resources and help slow global warming. The plastic used in compact discs (CDs) and digital versatile discs (DVDs) can be recycled into everyday items, including household products, building materials and auto parts.
Bruce Bennett, founder of the Compact Disc Recycling Center, states "I feel the main reason people are throwing out unwanted CDs and DVDs is that they simply don't know what else to do with them. Now they can learn the importance of disc recycling, and also have a place to send them. They can send us one or one million discs and we'll accept and recycle them." Bennett also notes that the Recycling Center will also accept disc packaging as well, provided that they come in to the center totally disassembled. This includes jewel cases, DVD cases, sleeves, printed jackets and most disc packaging. The Center's recycling service is no charge, and also offers a low cost disassembly service fee for those companies and individuals that cannot separate and disassemble their discs prior to sending them in. Spread the word to help us save the world we all live in.
If recycling is something you or your company would like to participate in, please contact either Disc, Inc. or

About CD Recycling Center of America:
The Compact Disc Recycling Center was founded in 2006 by Bruce Bennett, owner of The American Duplication Supply Group, including Superdups, New England Compact Disc and American Duplication Supply. After manufacturing millions of discs for thousands of customers, Bennett decided it was equally important as a manufacturer to educate people on the importance of disc recycling. The Compact Disc Recycling Center provides consumers and companies education, consultation, awareness and options for easy CD and DVD recycling, with a location to send the discs to. The website, www.cdrecyclingcenter.orgoffers a range of articles, research, products and profiles of their growing number of supporters and members, all to be applauded by the recycling conscious consumer.
"Each year Billions CDs and DVDs are still being manufactured, while millions of unwanted, damaged, and obsolete discs end up in landfills and incinerators every month. It is important for those individuals or companies that use, sell, manufacture, or promote compact discs to also responsibly promote how and where to recycle them." - Bruce Bennett, founder of The Compact Disc Recycling Center of America.
