 Posted: Mon May 11, 09 9:03 am Post subject: Recycling CDs in France |
 
|
Hello
I've read (see Downsizing > Reduce, Resuse, Recycle - various threads) that there are now places in the UK to send old CDs.
Does anyone know of similar collection points in France?
Thanks |

No, but do you have fruit trees? They make excellent bird scarers, I saved all my cherries from the birds this way last year....and if not you then perhaps a neighbour?
Otherwise you can always send them to me....the time is upon us to be decorating! |

No, sorry boxcorner. We've used them in the garden like Clara.
They can also make quite funky coasters. |

Thanks, I am aware of alternative uses. However, I have quite large quantity available, considerably more than I could possibly use myself, hence I am seeking to get the plastic recycled, as seems to be possible in the UK. I will gladly to send you some, if you let me know how many you want and reimburse just the postage. |

Is that an offer to all those who live in the land of Frogs?
If so, I would gladly take some off your hands for p&p. |
