DVD mountain

[beagle1]

Are DVD's recyclable? It occurred to me that with all the freebies being given away in papers etc that there must be a whole pile of them stacking up somewhere - what happens to them when they are thrown away? Can they be recycled? Otherwise this is going to be as bad as the nappy mountain

It's a well-known problem:

Use them as either bird/cat scarers

or you could make them into clocks...

Seriously though...i've seen one company that shreds them and sells them as decorative ground covering instead of gravel...looks quite pretty.
