Question destroying CDs


Anyone know of a good way to destroy information on CDs? I have a whole bunch of pictures of Oliver on CDs that are duplicated. I want to destroy them before throwing them in the trash.

Scratch the hell out of the top (the lable side) and then snap in half.

The information is on the underside of the label.

Yes, most shredders handle CDs. If no shredder is handy, a couple good scratchs will make it impossible to retrive data from it.

I've always found the "shotgun" method to be useful. Free trap shooting!
