Best way to destroy cd-r disks?

Go out late at night and feed it to a very large fish like a shark. They will eat it. It's amazing to watch. I do not believe it can be retrieved or put back together after the sharks teeth chew on it.

 

I get a piece of needle or pen and scribble hard over the disk so it cannot be read anymore.

 

The Biggest Hammer you can Find!!

 

But what about cd+r disks ?
It's the "plus sign" that worries me the most. Plus usually means better and better means harder to destroy.
IMO, you can't destroy a cd+r the same way as a cd-r, you have to beat harder or something.

 

How about beating it with a 2kg till a fine powder, serious through just put it through a Heavy duty paper shredder that shreds credit cards into little bits Cross Cut I think the call it.

 

is there any mith any one can think of im very troubled

 

i need some myths for destroying cds and if you dont help me i will go insane

 

Hi, Smokey

That is the best idea so far.

Take Care,

I give my used cd's to my wife who punches
a hole in them and turns them into wind chimes.

 

With the compliments to the little monster..

 

you can always and set them on fire.

 

You don't need to put much effort into it if you want a disc to be unreadable. Plastic disks are the worst storage media ever made. Just drag a sharp object over it once and it's useless. Every disk is going to be unreadable anyway sooner or later.

 

As an optician, I have a lot of experience with polycarbonate (security glasses and light weight optical lenses).

It' s simple : just one or two drop of acetone.
It's amazing !

It will looks like your 100 yo grandma face

 

let your sister or brother borrow it.

 

Stert your next BBQ fire with them.

 

Isn,t it a feature of any good CD writing software?

 

afaik, CD-Rs cannot be erased, though u can still add data as long as the CD has space and it hasnt yet been finalized.

 

Completely destroy them? Use a disk or belt sander, or a right angle grinder and a vise. Start on one edge and grind them until there's nothing left but half melted powder and twisted shavings.

 

Yes but some burners don,t give the option to add data.
I have Sonic RecordNow and it just closes the CD after writing, no option to disable ithis fuction, that,s pretty bad.

 

Just give it to the beggars, so that they can make it as a decorations in their house... but see to it that they didn't own a single pc or else you'll be in trouble...

or better yet, put it in shredder machine so that it will be turn into pieces like crackers..

 

I got one! The Compact Disc Eraser. It's a new product!

UNLIKE other known methods of burning, breaking, frying, microwaving, shooting, acid/solvent bathing, or even shredding, the Disc Eraser leaves your unwanted CD completely intact. NO eWaste! This is due to a new optical strip technology that takes less than 2 seconds to do. There is no mess, no chemical, AND no cleanup fuss! It's small enough to fit inside your pocket or laptop case. Easy to use, 100% safe.

It's a Top American Invention that is aimed at PRESERVING OUR ENVIRONMENT by promoting RECYCLING rather than creating eWaste, whenever a CD-R is physically shredded or broken into pieces you render them UNRECYCLABLE! So STOP breaking, use the Disc Eraser, and remember to recycle your erased CD-Rs and DVDRs in any plastics recycling bin. It's the BEST VALUE and more durable than expensive and bulky CD shredders and other disc destruction devices.
