Destroying CD-ROM
Mary from Edinburgh, Texas, wants to know how to destroy CDs.
The simplest way to destroy old CDs is to scratch through the painted side of the disk. She can also punch holes in the CD with a nail or just break the disk into pieces. Burning it in the microwave will create toxic fumes and destroy the microwave. We do not recommend this method.
