They can be used as table decorations or as gifts. http://linda-allfreepatterns.blogspot.com/2010/07/cd-recycle-gift-basket-sew.html This one uses one CD and is a gift basket. Hope you enjoy.

A lot of people return broken cd cases. I second what JustinG said, my mom’s a librarian and I give mine to her. A lot of people return broken cd cases.

There is a small charge for this as well as shipping. In my area, recycling does not take them. I have been using them for years at my kids' school to collect unwanted CDs, videotapes, etc. You might want to consider keeping them if you want to swap some of your cds or dvds in the future since alot of swap places require the orginal cases for DVDs such as Swaptree, an online mulitmedia swapping place. Others may require this for CDs as well. I bet you can use them to scrap ice off of your windshield as well!
