[TV] What shall I do with my DVD’s?
- Thread starter Peacehaven Wild Kids
- Start date
I stuffed about 150 cds and countless dvds into a bunch of bin bags and put them in the bins outside.
There’s a large Sali Army shop at the back of my house that takes all this sort of stuff but I was in “cleaning mode”.
If you don't find way to monetise or donate or re-use/re-purpose them, please don't just bin them.
Recycling HAS to be the way to go, Shirley, and a quick internet search reveals...
West Sussex County Council's website says that "all of its recycling centres accept CDs and DVDs" https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/land-...west-sussex/a-to-z-of-recycling/cds-and-dvds/
I can see less info for East Sussex (haven't looked too hard TBF), but a search on this website https://www.recyclenow.com/recycle-an-item shows a place in Bexhill that will take them:
Brighton & Hove City Council's website suggests DVDs & CDs can be recycled at their recycling centres:
I have a modest number of CDs and DVDs that have been in our loft in boxes since the day we moved in (8 years ago). In a sign of the times (and personal laziness), we've since bought a few of those films on streaming services rather than dig them (and the PlayStation to play them on) out of the loft.
I don't really want to get rid though - their time will come!

However, the HFS website itself makes no mention of the service that I can see.Brighton & Hove City Council's website suggests DVDs & CDs can be recycled at their recycling centres:

I found that Music Magpie were rip offs that give you 20p for a DVD, whereas Zifit and Selltiback gave me £1.20 for the same titles.
Best thing to do is get all 3 apps and scan each one as they do vary on price.
You may end up sending 80% to Zifit and 10% to Music Magpie and Selliback.

Had a sort out of our DVDs and blue rays a couple of years ago. kept 30 or so films that were the best ever favourite films that I have to have a physical copy.
Last week stumbled across this stash and realised I hadn't watch a single one since the clear out and so went to CEX with some games and got a store credit for £13
felt good to let it all go

I got rid of all mine on Music Magpie.

Music Magpie amused me for about half hour, most got rejected, these are the only ones they wanted (NB a couple on there belong to the wife, honest) I might keep a few but most will go to the charity shop.

I started collecting DVDs again a few years ago, I often get them from charity shops. As I get older I realise that I tend to watch the same films at least once a year, most streaming sites are quite shit and I like to actually own something instead of everything digital. It the same with Playstation I'd always opt for owning CDs instead of digital games.

The most curious thing..
You would have to pay me to watch / listen to most of those - certainly more that those quoted.
