Way OT - what do you do with old floppy disks? - 10/20/13 10:34 PM
Doing some spring cleaning in my studio. I found a cache of a couple of hundred 3.5" floppy disks. Some brand new, some with data and labels on them (I can erase them with a USB floppy drive and an eraser that will write random zeros and ones 35 times over).
I also have over a dozen cases of brand new floppy disk labels on tractor feed paper.
Of course, I could throw them out, but that seems like a waste.
Soooooooo...
1) Does anybody know where I could donate them where they would be re-used as floppies? (probably not a chance)
2) Any place to re-cycle them so as not to end up with more toxic junk in the landfill?
The floppy disk disappeared in a hurry many years ago, and they got tucked into a corner of the studio. I'm re-doing my office/studio, and I'd like to use the space for some other useless items.
Notes
PS, I suspect that I'll hear from my friend Mac on this sooner or later
