When unwanted CD-ROMs are piling up, You can recycle them but it isn't as easy as a plastic bottle or aluminum can, so it is time to find some uses for them.

1) Recycle CD-ROMs into High-Tech Wall Decorations
In a child's room, use them as wall decorations! Just use a tack in the center hole or use double stick tape to attach them to the wall. You can cover an entire wall or put them in a scattered formation for shiny, rainbow throwing decorations.

2) Recycle CD-ROMs into Coasters
Use a piece of tape to cover the center hole. For a coaster holder when they aren't in use, you can store them in half of a CD-ROM jewel case.

3) Recycle CD-ROMs into Reflectors
Use as reflectors on your rural mailbox or as driveway markers.

At my house we are using them on the back of haywagons instead of buying reflectors.

4) Recycle CD-ROMs into Game Pieces
Make a large checker board with the spots the size of the CD-ROMs (eight squares by eight squares). Mark 12 CD-ROMs with a red "X" using a red marker and 12 CD-ROMs with a black "X" with a black marker. Kids will love to play a "high-tech" game of floor checkers.

5) Recycle CD-ROMs into Paper Plate Weights
On outdoor picnics, solve the problem of paper plates blowing away! Place three drops of glue on the outside edge of a CD-ROM and put it on the bottom of a paper plate. This will also help to stiffen the paper plate. When you throw the paper plate out, just pull the CD-ROM off the bottom.

6) Recycle CD-ROMs into Carpet Protectors
Use them under your couch and chair legs to help protect your carpet from getting the dreaded furniture indent.

Have a high-tech Christmas tree next year. Glue on a string for a hanger, then glue lace and beads on the CD-ROM. Kids will have fun decorating them and they sparkle with the tree lights.

On the CD-ROM write the name of your vegetable with a permanent marker. Glue or tack the CD-ROM to a stick and put in the ground to mark your garden rows. They may also act as a high-tech scare crow.
