Frank – it would have been to conserve space, but those books don’t take up that much room. Also, with the move fast approaching, we definitely did not have time to rip hundreds of CD’s!

I think a better solution would have been to Rip all of the media to your hard drive, then donate all of the CDs to the library. Although I only buy digital music nowadays, I also had an enormous CD collection leftover from the 80s and 90s. I ripped them all to my hard drive and donated the actual CDs to the library.

Even if they get tossed by the next person, if it stops them from buying the same thing brand new and THEN tossing that product, we are better off giving them our used ones so they get used one more time before they enter the trash,

Funny…I’ve had this issue come up in the past 6 months, and here’s the debate I had with myself. Is it better to recycle them myself or give them away to someone else who may not end up recycling them and instead toss them in the garbage? It’s a tough call. I even thought of posting them for free but with the caveat that whomever took them had to promise they would recycle them when they were done, or pass them along in a similar manner. That may be the best situation, but in the end I wound up recycling them.
