Movies and music provide some of the best entertainment around, but sometimes we just don't have any more room for all those DVDs and CDs. When you're ready to do some purging, look to neighbors and friends to unload your unwanted stash. The same goes for software DVDs and disks too. If no one is interested, try the resources below to resell, trade, or donate unwanted items.

What if the disk or cassette is broken?

Recycle broken or scratched disks and cassettes at the locations listed on our DVD, CD, and Video Cassette Recycling page.
