Step 1: INTRODUCTION

 A brief introduction.
CDs - 5-1/4 inch disc used to convey  information. Then lay it aside for a few years then toss it out.
These are the discs you need to re-cycle . Here  you need to know a few tid-bits  about the construction of these plastic dishes.  They come in two types - High quality and economical low quality  types. The high quality types are those that have movies , etc. on them. Low quality types are those used to burn a disc on your computer. They are easily scratched and the aluminum reflective surface is vulnerable to flaking when cut with scissors. To get around this problem you need to heat or warm the disc  to easily cut it with your scissors. I use my space heater. Hair dryers also will do to pre-heat the disc up. Heat  it till it is quite warm for easy cutting.
